For some people (those who can't drive for various reasons), public transportation is their only option.  I think it's nice to at least have the option available.  I don't take public transportation much, but we have a light rail system where I am, and if I'm going to a concert or to an event at our convention center, those are a couple of its stops - I'll often take the light rail to those places so that I don't have to worry about finding a parking space there (which can sometimes be difficult).  Those rides are also a particular case where it doesn't take much more time than driving to those places.

As far as the time taken, sometimes I feel like I waste a lot of time in my car stuck in traffic.  There are times on the highways here where traffic slows down for no particular reason, or sometimes there's an accident somewhere that backs up traffic for quite a ways.  In those cases, I feel like going 10 miles per hour in stop & go traffic on the highway isn't a good use of my time.

Also, costly for whom?  If you don't own a car at all, taking public transportation can be less expensive than owning a car and paying for gas, maintenance, car insurance, etc..
