One needs to construct a strawman when the person you're arguing with has made no attempt to make any kind of actual argument, and just thrust a single word into a discussion.

Maybe construct an argument of your own to get defensive about before reacting so harshly.

I could and did forgive the original response for exactly the reason you said.

But in my follow up, I clarified my position and point, and that being ignored is why I'm stating it as being a strawman. I explicitly said I support public transportation.

Let me say it again: I explicitly said I support public transportation.

Let me say it a FIFTH TIME NOW: I SUPPORT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

How many times need it be said before buddy stops characterizing my position as being against public transportation?

Sincerely, how many times?
