You are protoypical of the biggest issues to implementing what Iamtdg is talking about.Yeah I could never imagine using mass transit on a daily basis. I've lived in St. Louis and used the MetroLink, it wasn't good for so many reasons. In college we had the campus buses which were a nightmare and slow as hell.
I see areas where mass transit works but I don't think it will ever be able to largely replace the individual transit people currently employ. Not without some sort of communist like mandates.
With all that being said I'd love to do a train ride for a long trip. I've heard wonderful things and it really does allow an ability for you to sort of actually enjoy the commute as opposed to being stuck in some cramped space like most trips (Car, plane or bus).
Most Americans outside of the northeastern corridor feel this way, you can build all of this stuff and have it be cheaper, faster and safer but unless people want to get out of their cars and give up a little convenience then it will never work.
