It would be great if our public transit system in the US was funded enough to actually be useful for more than just occasional, highly specific trips.

Came to say the same. Where I live (Bay Area), we have a train system that works great if you are in a supported area. If not, I don't imagine the bus system is very convenient. I want something like the NYC subway system. I want it to be inconvenient to drive, compared to regular trains. I'd never drive to San Francisco because it's a hassle. I want all destinations to be like this (by making the alternative more attractive, not by making driving worse).
