The first subway system was built a long time before the car ever existed Gort.
And when the first towns were built in Europe, for some of them going back a couple of thousands years ago, space was not an issue; on the other hand, the fact that 99% of the people were only using their feet to go to one place to another was. Therefore the towns were compact.
My last point is that you are only at the "mercy" of a PT system, if it is badly conceived. And you need a well conceived PT system not be at the mercy of the car.
