The problem is Americans are normalized to terrible public transit. I was amazed how wonderful it was to get around using public transit the last time I was in Europe. It was so much better than the car I had rented for short-medium distance trips. I hear it's even better in Japan and other parts of Asia.
The idea of having a dedicated lane with incredibly reliable timing is obviously better than the uncertainty of traffic.
- rayiner 7y agoEven with their “wonderful transit” and our “terrible transit” Americans have some of the shortest commutes in the OECD: https://www.oecd.org/els/family/LMF2_6_Time_spent_travelling_to_and_from_work.pdf https://www.oecd.org/els/family/LMF2_6_Time_spent_travelling.... Japan and Korea (which have fantastic public transit) have the longest.
