No it is exactly the point. Most towns and cities have bus lines even if they dont have trains. People should move to apartments and give up their suburban mc mansion. The fastest growing areas are AZ, TX, FL, the new suburbs there are vast and car centric its enabled by cheap gas and cheap cars. People just prefer that because they can.
- reducesuffering 4y agoIt's not simply because "they can," but that the towns and cities get built so that things are distributed and not served comparably by bus lines. For example, in my median-density medium-sized city, by USA standards, my grocery store is 16 minutes away by bus, but 5 minutes by car. A coffee shop I'd go to is 29 minutes by bus and 6 minutes by car. Things are much worse for where >60% of Americans live too...
