Automated light metro. build the same guideways all over. Trains that hold around 50 passengers, half with corgo bikes. Cookie cutter stations that are easy to factory prefab. Stations every mile on the existing grid. Automated means you run 24x7 with frequent service.

the important part: no station is more than 10 minutes ( 20 including you bike trip) to a central station where you can transfer to any many other trains including express toethe rest of the city. The central stations must all be in a zoned high density retail area so you can do your shoping there. there will be a lot of them scattered around the metro area.

the above will be expensive. However once bilt it would be cheaper than cars.
