Think you're going to generalise a bit he-

a) the vehicle usually doesnt
go from your origin or to your destination


That assumes you can park exactly at your destination. Usually not the
case in town centres.

b) journey time is generally
hugely increased compared to car travel, resulting in a vast waste of
human resource.


Again, that depends. In general, I find PT at least as fast as a car in
rush hour. Evenings, PT usually slows down while the roads are less
congested. So the car usually wins then.

But I'm talking about London.
