>Boston is one of the least car-dependent cities in America and Germany is one of the most car-dependent countries in Europe original comment covered Boston area, since it includes extra city transit. My expectation is that Boston area population still drive cars much more than Germans. > It's not like this price is profitable anywhere in Germany. the question how much unprofitable it will be in US. Say government invested billions in building top notch public transit in Boston area, but population will still prefer to drive cars, it will be huge waste of money. I think one of the reason why cars are preferred in US is higher wages and lower gasoline and car prices so population can afford driving cars more, and car is more convenient transportation in most of the time.
