Trains aren't made for 5 mile trips to the grocery store or the mall but in a major city with mass transit more people can be moved with less cost overall and a single train carrying 100 people takes up a lot less space than 100 single passenger vehicles.
In most major cities you don't drive to the grocery store. You're thinking the suburbs.

Don't start from the perspective that you need a car. The car just ends up owning your wallet before it finally takes out your heart.
