And yet there are plenty of mid sized towns (even in not particularly wealthy or dense areas) with good transit in Europe (I'm sure there are in other parts of the world such as south east Asia but I am mostly familiar with Europe). I am pretty sure Brno, Czech Republic or Brandenburg, Germany are not wealthier per capita than Orlando and somehow they managed to build a decent transit system despite being much smaller towns. EDIT: I just checked on wikipedia and Brandenburg an der Havel has a bit over 1/3 the population density of Orlando so it's definitely not a density issue. Wiki doesn't have density figures for Brno but it seemed comparable to Orlando.
