Calvin (from Calvin & Hobbes) sitting at a lemonade stand, smiling, with a sign that reads, "Trains and micromobility are inevitably the future of urban transportation, whether society wants it or not. CHANGE MY MIND."

Except for the car, which is why it's such a popular choice. Also no need to worry about catching the next thing, or buying the right tickets, you just get in and go.
I haven't heard of any solution or combination of solutions that would be convenient and work in most cities.
Yep there's nothing else as good as having your own vehicle to freely travel wherever you want to on your own schedule and in relative privacy. The rest of y'all can enjoy your trains as much as you want, but there's no train or bus that comes out to my house in the woods so I'm going to keep driving my car for the foreseeable future. After that it will probably be an electric SUV that I keep driving. I'll charge my car from my solar power at home and be energy independent.
Doesn't it bother you that even in cars you don't have privacy?
Can car move you from bedrom to kitchen? Escooter can.
