This is right. I desperately want to cycle places and take public transit, but in Los Angeles, things have been built with such distances that this often means 2+ hour trips if not done by car. Cities need to rezone and re-prioritize for better public transit in a lot of areas to reach this vision.
Portland, Oregon has bike racks on their buses. It's entirely possible, with appropriate infrastructure, for people to combine cycling and public transit in order to get from point A to point B efficiently without a car.
We have that in LA too, just gotta signal it and hope your bike doesn't get jacked.
