Why is it hard for cities/towns to promote public transport over cars and freeways?

One important point is that driving is massively subsidized, which simultaneously helps it become a more convenient option and makes the alternatives less attractive (to many). Many think that their taxes and registration fees completely cover the costs of roads, but that isn’t remotely true, and that sure doesn’t help.
If we funded pedestrian infrastructure, cycling infrastructure and transit sufficiently, considerably more people would use them more frequently.
