I've lived in cities with a bus system that meant no wait longer than 10 minutes and no walk to/from a stop of further than a city block. Having a solid mass transit solution requires relatively basic infrastructure before anything else. We shouldn't be trying to create a relatively complicated system when we don't even have a basic one in place and working. I would expect that anyone who has lived in a city with good, clean, affordable, basic, high quality mass transit looks on that privilege quite fondly. Compared to most (awful) systems in the US having once known such a system and now dealing with what much of the US has to offer will be either rage inducing or depressing (or both).
