I don't know much about Miami. But some urban areas of the US absolutely do have very nice transit systems. The trick comes when people need or want to travel outside of those transit systems' boundaries. People seem to forget in this conversation that the US is one country that is more than double the land mass of the entire European Union. If you lived in Portugal, would you take a train to Lithuania? That would be like taking the train from San Francisco to Chicago. As mentioned before, people have friends, family, and jobs spread all around this land. I knew many people who took the train into work in the suburbs of Chicago. I used to ride my bike 16 kilometers into work every day. But what we all needed a car for was visiting our family out in rural Illinois.
