Depends where you live. If you live in the countryside in ireland, the public transport is severely lacking. A 20 minute drive requires you to take probably 2 hours of public transport.
Edit: After cycling for about... an hour to the train station, so probably 3 hours total
There are always going to be edge cases where personal vehicles make sense, but no serious proponent of better public transport is ever going to propose an outright ban on private vehicular use.
The fact is the majority of people in the world live in urban areas, where there shouldn't be the excuse of "oh I live hours away from the nearest station and too few people to justify adding a bus route."
