Public transport is undeniably better

Nah that's super easy to deny. Sucks to pay 80€ for a 3 hour round trip. Sucks to be squeezed in between strangers if you are lucky enough to get a seat. Sucks to be stuck to an inflexible schedule that the transport company fails to keep. Sucks to be stuck in a box with 100 people during flu/covid season.

There are certainly plenty of things better about public transport but it's not better in every conceivable way. There are reasons I prefer riding my bike when feasible.

To take this back to mental health ... not really sure what you meant by the analogy in the first place.

Just that one being 'better' in a best-of-all-worlds scenario doesn't mean that we should disregard the other on an individual level, since circumstances might differ.

Of course its not as definitve as i made it out to be, that was just for the sake of making a point, as this is about mental health and not transportation (I also prefer my bike).
