So your saying nobody every tries to go from one end of Europe to the other? OK. Sure. /sarcasm They also have weather patterns that generally match ours. Sure

So your saying nobody every tries to go from one end of Europe to the other? OK. Sure. /sarcasm They also have weather patterns that generally match ours. Sure, not tornadoes afaik, but that's not a huge chunk of damage to the US either. Public transit is resistant to those things. They have snow, ice, and other cold-weather issues over there as well and somehow seem to get along just fine. And car's resiliency comes at an unsustainable cost. Not only is it environmentally unsustainable, it's not even population-density sustainable. Sure, there are big empty areas of land where it wouldn't make sense to put public transportation, just like in Europe. But that doesn't mean we should ignore the areas where it does make sense to implement it, just like in Europe. None of these problems are really unique to the US.
