Shouldn't really be basing transport policies on once in a century pandemics though should we?
Indeed, however there are plenty of other reasons why public transportation sucks
...and even more reasons why it is essential.
Less is more

Fuck taking the bus, I love driving

Come and take this whip from my cold dead hands
I don't suppose you've ever had to do the daily commute and spend several hours a week in stationary or slow-moving traffic though.
If you had you might like the idea of sitting on a train watching Youtube videos on your smartphone instead.

Public transportation is a death sentence in the Covfefe Death. Who's laughing now, England??

I dunno. If you were one of the people trapped standing ass cheek to ass cheek on a crowded London train, your answer to that question might be "why, yes we fucking should".

I don't mind traffic, so long as I am driving,

so long as I am behind the wheel, I am relaxed in the saddle, listening to tunes

Well, since most of them were traveling to work in non-essential jobs such as construction one might be tempted to feel that it served them right.
If more people had heeded the advice then the actual essential workers could have ridden on near-empty trains or even driven to work and found places to park.
They might also feel differently if they really understood that London could well be underwater in 50 years if CO2 emissions are not brought under control. Long term thinking has never been a strength for politicians or industry though.

As I said, you've never had to suffer the daily commute though have you? If it was an hour a day each way, 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year, you might feel differently.

Mrs Smitty commutes, she doesn't mind it, she works in Waterloo not Toronto, so the commutes not bad

This is why we Prep

We moved out of the GTA into God's country, so we can drive everywhere and there is always parking

It was Mrs Smitty who got me to leave the army first

Then she got me to leave Toronto

I just didn't stop in the suburbs, I went all the way

I've never had to suffer a daily commute through standstill traffic either but I can still imagine how awful it would be.

I've never lived in the subburbs

Either right downtown in the 6ix itself, or all the way out in the country

So out in Renfrew or Wellington County, I am a Redneck, pick-up truck & hot rod

But down in the 6ix, I was Corso Italia



And actually on base in Petawawa, we either rode our mountain bikes or straight up ran everywhere
