    The thing you’re still failing to realize is that most of America is comparatively rural, and the big cities do have subways, busses, elevated train lines, etc. And we do have amtrak, and people do use it, but it’s not feasible for most of the country to rely on trains for transport. The town my grandma lives in has 5,000 people (if that), no trains beyond freight, no busses, no cab drivers, uber sometimes, only if Big Steve is working right now and he likes to go up to the “city” nearby (not a city like Bos, NYC, Amsterdam, more like idk some small city in Albania lol) for bowling on fridays, so good luck.

        I literally already said that we have trains in our densely populated metropolitan areas where it makes sense to do so already, but most of the country isn’t those 10 cities.

        As fun as talking in circles is I’m going to respectfully walk away from this thread now. Have fun in Italy, eat something cheesy for me.
