This video explains really well exactly why transit is better than cars: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=j4s9WDDRE2A

I also like to point to this graphic:

Cars are just an insanely inefficient way to move people around in cities.

I take issue with this graphic. It is disingenuous to imply that foot traffic isn't the highest density form of transit. You can't load a train with other trains. People have to walk.

You forgot to account speed. Trains go something between 20-40+ times (or far more if you account carriage) faster than average person walking. This increases the throughput of the lane massively.
