Not in EU they aren't. At most they are being now built assuming you should go there by public transportation, but certainly not that you drive there.
- maxerickson 9y agoI live in a region that is geographically about the same size as the Netherlands (give or take a few percent). The population of the region is about 300,000. Much of the US has population densities like this, below 50 people per square mile. People generally live at much higher densities than that, but it still doesn't justify much in the way of public transport. Which isn't to say that the US does a good job with public transport, but a significant part of the difference is the affordability and utilization of given levels of service. In many higher density areas, public transport tends to be okay.
