What about people who live in rural areas?
Let the public transit crowd listen to the sound of their own echo. They do not wish to be inconvenienced by considering the lives of people who do not live in densely populated areas.
Heavens forfend we inconvenience the exurban crowd by considering the lives of people who

acknowledge the concept of externalities.
CrabCake's suggestion of subsidized ride-sharing for those in truly rural areas is a good one. As for the suburbs, many of them can and should be retrofitted to become transit-friendly, and let ride-share be a bridge to that if necessary.
