Tens of millions of people live in cities with passable subway systems in the US and have for like a hundred years. And small towns were connected with rail all over. This fantastical scenario was completely normal.
Kind of crazy how these people just accepted public transport as a normal thing until like...3-4 years ago? Now suddenly trains and buses are driven by Lucifer himself apparently.
I think these kind of liberals were always uncomfortable with public transit but then the magical quackery of EVs as a cure-all let them banish even the reluctant acceptance of mass transit as a good thing.
