Happily I don't live in your country, where, true, most cities seem to have been designed by car lobbyists.
All the arguments you imagined I'd use to rebuke you are, actually, part of the ethos and the public policy in your country, not mine, so you can stop projecting now.
I live in a European city with what's widely regarded as one of the best public transit systems in the West, most of the city was designed before cars even existed.
So no I'm not talking about America, are you trying to pretend that getting a bus in Barcelona, Rome, Paris or any other major European city is some magic fairy journey free of pick pockets, aggressive youths, creeps and weirdos? Because I've been on buses in all those cities and seen all those things regularly.
