>Not in America.

Not in Europe as well. You can't afford to uproot your family just because your new employer is on the other side of the city, and yet you're expected to if you want the job. A lot of my friends in Germany commute by car to work just because they don't liver within sensible cycling/public transport distance.



Some cities in europe are running with even worse systems than they had in wwii. Like heres a train station that eventually takes you to the capital city four times a day, and thats it. They ripped out the old tram networks already in many cities if they ever even had them at all. Some of the cities in south europe it seems like on foot is still the fastest way to get around, just as it was when the romans built the place, because of how much narrow one way gridlock the bus or other vehicles sit in.
