If you are the only one to own a car, where do you get gas? Or replacement parts?


That's reading my comment too literally. The details aren't important.

The point is, in practice, for an individual choosing whether to take public transport or use a car, it's very often better for them to choose the car - even though that makes things a little worse for everyone else. Recognising that is an important part of making public transport work.


The general store for gas and the blacksmith for parts/repair, obviously. Just like the early 1900s, where OPs rose-tinted glasses are trained.
