I also feel like in USA there is a stigma around public transit usage. Like it's "dirty" and "for the poors".
I've only ever lived in BC so I can't speak for everywhere but I don't think those attitudes are nearly as prevalent here as they are down South.
Yeah it's a stigma. I've been at dinners with family and I'll get asked why I don't drive, like there's something wrong with me.
But really it comes down to most cities just not being built for it. No one bats an eye if you don't drive in NYC for example. Most other places in the US aren't like that at all though.
