Such a situation is virtually unheard of in most other developed countries, where even many small villages have a relatively regular bus."

"That’s the fundamental problem that makes transit useless for most people in most American cities. The key to great transit service is not about getting 100 percent of people to ride transit for 100 percent of trips. It’s about giving people a viable choice of getting around without needing to drive."

City lab has tried to address the issue for some time. Good read if not as complete as we might like. This link can clarify some of the same issues. At least to those living in the land of multiple suburbs.
