But London is rather un-american in its practicalities right? It's a total expensive pain to drive, as roads are narrow and there's a 20usd a day fee to do so.

- LatteLazy 6y agoI think it depends on your definition of American. New York isn't that different (heavily train using, very limited parking, but on a grid pattern). I get what you mean though, NYC is an exception really. There is a "rule" about how cities get "stuck" on the transport type they use when they reach a certain size. Hence NYC and London are (mid distance) train centric. Newer cities in the western US are car heavy. Singapore is metro rail.

Europe generally is less car-centric than the US but lots of people still own cars.
