Have you seen the size of most US states?
All of England could fit in Alabama (they’re practically the same size). And it’s in the lower half of state sizes.
Great Britain would fit in, I don’t know, Missouri?
It takes sixteen western OECD countries to equal the land mass of the US.
Do you comute going from NY to LA? No right, so what’s the point?
Doesn’t matter if you live in USA or Switzerland, a city is a city, of course suburban sprawl doesn’t help, but this has nothing to do with the size of the country
You’re not referring to a specific problem here, and general size isn’t an issue.
The comment you replied to is a bit shortsighted, public transit in more rural areas or small towns wouldn’t work that well.
There’s absolutely room for great public transit anywhere else though, cities and more sizable towns can easily have great public transport and there’s even options for American suburbs. Trains connecting cities together in a lot of areas would also be relatively cheap for most places, and a lot of bigger cities used to have public transport that was eventually torn down to make room for cars.
I think a lot of you forget that things don’t have to be perfect, especially first try and that things can easily be changed.
Ok. While I am convinced that train is even better than planes I was talking about public transit in cities. And yes I know that conny from the rual area won’t be able to drive 100 miles by bus. But that is not your problem in the us. Your problem is, that you must use a car for 2 miles within the City because you can’t safely walk there.
