No, they really are not. They’re slower (because they cause you to wait for all the other cars, and also they generally physically slower than all rail based options too), they pollute more, and they suck to drive and be in.
I’d much rather sit around on a nice train or something and read, play games, or whatever leasure activity I want. If you’re driving a car you need to be focused on driving. If you’re a passenger in public transport you be productive or enjoy it, and you can even stand up and stuff if you need to. Trains even often will have food/drink options too, as well as restrooms and possibly even beds. You can literally go to the bar, drink, and sleep all while getting to your destination. Convince me a car is better than that.
