You should look into the history a little more closely. The truth is that LA was not at all designed around cars, but was part of an excellent web of rail cars numbering more than 800 and spanning more than 1100 miles of track - track which has since been ripped right up out of the ground. Why? By whom? Follow the dollars and learn.
The current MTA system is not a half-assed attempt to slap a public transit system onto a car's city, but rather an attempt to restore what was lost when corporate interests derailed sensible city planning.
I hate LA.
