I seriously hope not. Public transportation fits right into plank number 6 of the communist manifesto. Is it true that most countries that have ``good'' public transportation are also to a large exent socialist countries? Or at least heading towards socialism? It would seem to me that socialists would hate the automobile because of the freedom it provides the owner. I suppose you could argue that a car requires care, maintenance, etc... but since when does owning anything mean it doesn't involve responsibility?
