To be fair, that was at 7:30pm, the tail end of traffic and after the busses switch to a reduced schedule. I'd be curious to see those results at 5:30pm.
Plenty of people still need to get around at 8PM at night. So, I'd say a bodega worker in Brentwood going home to their less expensive apartment in Long Beach would prefer to be able to commute home at 10PM without it taking 3 hours :)
I suspect the car would still be faster though.
