I see comments like this all the time on social media (primarily on reddit) that if governments would simply spend more money on transit people would abandon their cars. The problem is when it's good it's good when it's bad it's terrible - as one person put it 2.5 hours on bus or 20 mins by car (Toronto).
My wife and I are prime examples - semi-retired and living close to a major station with great connections, we take the bus/train everywhere but a '"ghost train" train doesn't affect us - if we worked there is no way I would trust the system as it is.
Not sure where I read this but the vast majority of Deutschland Ticket holders are people who were already monthly pass buyers
