Mass transit doesn't take you to every location and cannot. Cars must exist in some form or another for access to many locations. Mass transit has not replaced all cars in any (non-city-state) country on this planet.
Cars and transit are not mutually exclusive. The more people that use mass transit, the better the experience fire people that still use cars. However we are hampered from enabling better mass transit in the US by those who refuse to let the two coexist and want to force everyone into cars.
There are indeed lots of ways of getting around. Walk, tram, bike, e-scooter, escalator, funicular, metro, schwebebahn, car, train, taxi, rickshaw, boat, bus. The best cities utilize a mix of those that work for them. Rental solutions have exploded in recent years.
You can't pick just one and say it's the best for everything.
