Stories like this make me feel that large chunks of the US are fundamentally broken. I just find it interesting that Americans assume that public transport is impossible rather than their current layout was designed purely for car transport and that it can be fixed.
- ghaff 7y agoOTOH, the context is that, although I'm only about an hour drive from Boston, I live in a largely rural town in a property that's between an apple orchard and a christmas tree farm plus conservation land. (With easy driving, but not walking, distance from a commuter rail station.) I'm not sure why it would be the norm for me to have a frequent/easy public transit option or whether that would be the norm in most of Europe either. I actually can get into the city for 9-5 fairly easily by rail. Just not door to door.
