Improving public transit does nothing to impact rural area car travel. Saying we need both on a comment how we should improve public transport is replying to something not at task here.
Maybe you should look at the post again? I'm agreeing with OP who posted the meme with the note "Both is good" and I agreed.
Are you maybe confused and thinking you're in a different thread?
The point is the post seems to minimize improve cars in favor of mass transit. The post didn't start with we need both, it started with "get rid of cars" as the general sentiment.
Which is a fine sentiment in city centers, but that's only a piece of things. Incidentally, I think the cities are generally trying to build out that transit.
