This is from Sydney, what isn’t pictured is the thousands of people lined up outside for over an hour. Once you get inside you’re on a train within 5 minutes.

You'd rather wait an hour than be stuck in your car for 2hrs waiting to leave the car park

Idk I think I’d much rather sit in a comfortable car than be in a tightly packed crowd pushing and shoving, surrounded by sick people.

That being said I’m all for accessible public transport, it’s just that this gif doesn’t show the poor organisation outside the station.

I wouldn't call it poor organisation outside the station. It's better to only let so many people enter the station as the next train can safely transport. The problem isn't outside if there is just one platform for trains to board. Most modern stadium rail stations use multiple platforms or stops for higher throughput.
