The real alternative to cars isn’t public transit; it’s walking and biking (with zoning density that facilitates that). Public transit is a ‘nice to have’ layer built on top afterward.
Absolutely not, having good rail infrastructure is an absolute bear necessity especially for the young, the elderly, and the disabled. But also people don’t want to walk and bike everywhere, people (myself included) want to just jump on a train and relax.
I literally never said sidewalks aren’t needed, you called public transport meanwhile a nice to have almost as if its a luxury and not a nesscesity. As if anyone could just walk everywhere or even want to.

How are you gonna get your stroller, walker, or wheelchair from the train station to your actual destination without a sidewalk?
