Just for the record - public transportation actually being "public" is a relatively new concept and in fact in many places in the world a significant portion of what most of us view as public transportation is really privately owned and operated.
You can say that we should try living without public transportation and seeing what happens. Well, we already did. And what happens is that entrepreneurs build transportation systems for those that don't or can't drive.
It's not simply taxation that influences transportation decisions. Many people choose large vehicles. Many people choose small vehicles. Many people choose no vehicles.
