Nobody in america can compare it because for the vast majority of us, transit just isn’t a viable option. Most people won’t wait 1 hour on an inconsistent bus when we can get there in 20 minutes driving. We can’t chat on the trains that don’t exist between our cities. We can’t chat in the cycle lane because there is no cycle lane, it is a gutter where any attempt at conversation is drowned out by road noise and exhausts with no enforced noise limit.
We’ve let car dependancy go so far because there are so few people still alive who actually remember what things were like before we all saw the world through these steel bubbles.
