I live in a suburb, where it's not only easy and cheap to drive and park, the built environment is built for driving, parking is free. And the transit system in this suburb gets 60 million boardings annually. If a suburban wasteland like Mississauga can do it, then Little Rock can do it easily.
Nobody with options? That is the entire problem with places like Little Rock. Transit is not even option. No one has options. People have no choice but to drive. Give people the option, and if even 8% or 10% take it, even that would make a huge difference for the development of Little Rock's downtown.
