I have used mass transit here in Houston. It is expensive and a bit difficult. You cant go anyplace you want in a reasonable amount of time. I have had 2 1/2 hour commutes one way that cost 4 or 5 dollars. That is quite a bit more expensive than driving yourself since most parking is free in Houston.
My experience in both Salt Lake City and in Birmingham is that the primary routes run radially from the city center. This means that a trip from one outlying area to another which might take a half hour by car takes over two hours by bus: riding one bus all the way downtown, waiting at the transfer point (usually outdoors) then riding another bus out to your intended destination.

Almighty Ruler of the all,
Whose Power extends to great and small,
Who guides the stars with steadfast law,
Whose least creation fills with awe,
O grant thy mercy and thy grace,
To those who venture into space.
