Trains in Europe aren't private, but the companies that make the trains are. And in fact all the trains in Japan (even the Tokyo subway!) are private.
I very much agree that we ought to get away from promoting cars so much, but lets not kid ourselves. The problem isn't developers, but middle class Americans who like their cars.
Middle class americans might like cars - but our government certainly encouraged them. Perhaps this is what we should stop first, and then parking lots next to train stations may be less of an issue.
