you don't actually understand what a rural community is.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoIn my experience, farmers don't live in rural communities. They live on farms. And 90% of them are over the age of 50. Unless it's a Hutterite colony, in which case your point is entirely moot because they have 0 private transport.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agonow you're getting it. they drive into town because these areas don't have the density that cities do and the towns themselves aren't large enough to justify public transportation, especially considering that even the non-farmers typically will live many miles from where they purchase their groceries, etc.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoMy home town has public transport, called the Handi-Van. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redvers,_Saskatchewan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redvers,_Saskatchewan Population 1,000.

My further guess is that the majority of the people in this town are elderly (retirement community).
- earthling8118 3y agoSo the town can afford dedicated transport for people who don't produce anything and your assumption is that it isn't feasible for those who do produce economic value? And it is somehow more feasible for each of those individuals to privately pay the costs?
