  That's begging the question isn't it? In places with quality transit, even the creme de la creme are riding it.

    Not the *real crème de la crème”, unless it is a photo op. Not regularly, and they have access to limos whenever the occasion calls for it. Their staff handles the logistics and staff quite often use automobiles. But an occasional trip to Lincoln Center, sure. Even shopping on 5th Avenue, though the packages will be delivered later by an auto or van or whatever vehicles those sorts of people use.

      I mean, it depends who you’re talking about, but there are plenty of cities where the upper-middle-class use the public transport.
