Generally speaking yes, with one important caveat: they don't hate trains and buses, but rather the people on them/associated with them. The commuter buses to DC where the average rider's income is pushing 6 figures come to mind... those are plenty popular

Transit can only solve the problem if it's expensive.

Note that the biggest effect of AV is to solve parking by having vehicles leave the most congested areas to park themselves.
