In the hundreds of US cities that aren't NY/SF/etc, traffic flow at rush hour is perfectly reasonable. The average speeds are much faster than BART, anyway.

To think that you need:
- A 5000 pound machine to take a 200 pound human to work
- Workplace is 60 miles away
- On a road with many other rush hour drowsy 200 pound humans
- Said humans, then spend 30 mins and $30 for parking, in which the 5000 pound machine is just lying around empty
- All the above effort just to bring back the person from work in the evening and leave that car back on the street, lying around?
That doesn't sound insane to you? There's no reason for this for a rich country.
If you want proof that there are better, efficient and human friendly transportation systems, you need to visit HongKong and Singapore. (NYC doesn't count)
Yeah, no thanks. Images of Asian megacities' subway systems at rush hour are nightmare fuel. No opportunity, relationship, or life could possibly be worth spending time in crowding like that every day. Hell is a crush-loaded train.
