Single occupant vehicle drivers still provide a massive amount of economic and social benefit to our society.  They're not just costs.  Maybe they're a net negative (I honestly don't know, its really complex to measure), but almost certainly not to the degree you're making them out to be.

We have vast areas of the province/country that do not have the density to support any reasonable form of mass transportation.  People need to get to/from those areas to their place of employment.  Even when a person lives/works in an area that can support mass transportation they may need to drive for a portion of their commute.
