I take the train to work since my job pays for it, but I'm not going to pretend like it's faster than driving through traffic. If I drive, door to door takes 30 - 45 minutes depending on the time I leave. If I take public transportation, door to door it takes an hour and 15 minutes no matter what.
When i went to school in my states capital, I rode the bus there every day. I could drive there in 1hr, then pay between $4-40 for parking depending how well I trusted a lot. Riding the bus took 50m. It bypassed all highway traffic and had its own lane, and even with stops it still was faster than driving.
I think if we prioritized transit, people would be amazed how efficient it can really be.
