> You're likely right, but I suspect only because of social stigma and classism. No, our cities are extraordinarily poorly designed. They're built in such a way that the only way to get around in a cost-effective and time-effective way is by taking a private vehicle. Here in Dallas, TX, we have the DART and it's pretty expansive. But the city is huge and sprawling - Dallas is still basically a suburb pretending to be a city. A typical 20 minute drive is going to be an hour on the DART. There just isn't enough density to make train and bus stops make sense in almost all US cities.
