People that live and work in high population cities. Most of what they drive with their cars could have been done with public transport if they live and work in the same city, so not too much sympathy from me here.

You're assuming that all high population cities have an efficient public traffic system, unfortunately that couldn't be forwarder from truth, at least in my city, while for some places I can take the metro and it's actually faster than driving, other places are dependent on very old busses that only show up once per hour and ~~sometimes~~ more often than not, don't show up at all.
