100% this - make it more comfortable and handle the rush.
I live in London, we have tons of public transport.
In the middle of the day, outside of rush hour, I use it a lot and it can be really pleasant, particularly suburban rail, you can stretch out a bit, there is often air conditioning, a nice view from the window, etc.
When it's busy I will drive even if it takes longer because my car is guaranteed to have personal space and is clean.
