Countercounter point.
When comparing the best roads in the world (Say the German Autobahn) to the best mass transportation in the world (Japan Railways Group) we see that when mass transportation is done correctly it can be timely and reliable. It is also cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient than roads.
We shouldn't limit our sources of inspiration to one continent when developing transportation solutions.

Inspiration is cheap. Disenfranchising the stakeholders who reliably mess things up is the real work.
