Whenever Europeans ask why Americans don't take public transport, it's like asking why The Emperor's New Suit never gets dirty.
Everybody knows the answer to that question, but nobody is allowed to say it.

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz Because the public transport in the Us is terribe and their urban planning is done by a retarded todler
But why is it terrible?
Who made public transport terrible?

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz it is underfunded,If you look at the NY metro its a night mare and Amtrack is almost nonexistent, Car companies and Oil gigants have lobbied the country into car dependency, America is poisoned by massive lobbying and has been for generations.
Its effectively a corpotocracy

after living with both I personally would prefer cars over public transport. the quality of such is too dependent on location and jurisdiction. Even the most of the places that I have lived realistically cannot support public transport anyway
and it really only works well for large cities anyway, it kinda blows for anything long distance, especially where I have lived most of my life

@theorytoe@ak.kyaruc.moe @cjd@pkteerium.xyz That is more a problem of your country than the method of transport unfortunatly, over here in NL almost everyone in Transit is normal with the very few times some retards come aboard, they are a strong minority if you live in a normal city and not a shithole like amsterdam or rotterdam
Basically what it comes down to is that there exist on this planet some Featherless Bipeds that have a certain mastery of language, but are manifestly unfit for participation in any kind of advanced civilization.
It's not all dark skinned people, but they generally are dark skinned, and so most people are utterly incapable of acknowledging the fact and would rather create an entire universe in their head just to avoid it.
Fortunately for Europeans, our governments are NOT run by Most People, they understand the situation and are prepared to quietly remove the problem, to be imprisoned or deported or otherwise made no longer a problem.
But in America they are not so lucky, and government - either through bad faith or negligence - forces everybody to live with these monsters. America used to have beautiful urban areas like Detroit, Gary, Saint Louis, and Chicago, but these have all been turned into 3rd world hellscapes with a murder rate as bad as some literal war zones.
So Americans ran away, they ran to rural and suburban areas as far away from the cities as they could. And as a result, there's no sense in building public transport because everyone is so spread out anyway.

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz And because of this alot of them fail to understand that there are countries that have their shit together like you described
Yup, but unfortunately decent criminal justice is a topic which can't be broached without re-litigating the Civil War...
@cjd @xaetacore we're probably having that fight again soon anyway so no big deal. We already wanted to do that for years
