You can turn the entire freeway system into a grid and it will still suck - Los Angeles

Los Angeles also has a higher population than 50% of the countries on the planet.

An anecdote fully lacking in relevance on account of there being larger cities than Los Angeles which do not at all have the same problems efficiently moving their populations where they need to go.

It's all about the transportation infrastructure.

Los Angeles Metro Rail has 26 million annual riders with a population of 18 million, so it's not like it doesn't exist.
