When will American cities prioritize good public transportation? It would be interesting to see what the differences are compared to cities that do, such as Singapore, Vienna and London.
- Notorious_BLT 7y agoDepends on the city, most American cities aren't structured in a way that makes sense for public transportation. They are designed around the assumption of car ownership. And that still leaves the question of how to bridge the huge gaps between cities without cars. The biggest US cities, like Chicago and NYC, have pretty great public transportation.

- logfromblammo 7y agoI disagree. It will be when Ford and GM go bankrupt, and when foreign-owned auto manufacturers forget how US lobbying works. Then wait for about 40 years as the people in power continue to do things exactly as they had been done before, just because no one ever got fired for keeping the applecart upright. Then the US will go all in on public transportation and walkable urban centers.
