I would invite you to consider whether you're confusing cause and effect. Since WW2, the car has not been the preferred method, it's been the *only* method of transportation for the vast majority of people. The reason it's the only viable method of transportation is due to a series of policy and funding choices at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. When given a choice between driving and being immobile with no viable alternatives, it's not exactly shocking that people will "choose" the car.
