It's quite amazing how every thread related to "public transport" systematically ends up being "the rest of the world" trying to explain to Americans that they may want to get slightly informed about the rest of the world before they say "public transports cannot work anywhere, because in the US they don't work". Sure, US cities have mostly (1) been designed as far away from anything that is not the individual car as possible, and now it's very difficult to come back. But at least Americans could pretend they are aware of the fact that cities can be built in such a way that public transports actually work.
