The problem is there aren’t great options for alternatives. We invest heavily in cars in this country while we should have affordable options for not just inner city travel, but also commuting from suburbian areas and cross-country high speed rail systems. We are a nation of innovation and it’s time we start behaving as one instead of just claiming it. Building greater transportation systems that don’t just rely on cars will enable better access to work, childcare, healthcare, commerce, even vacations! It will also provide many new jobs while helping to lower our negative impact to the Earth. It’s a strategy that has no losers. Let’s start putting our American minds to work on this to bring the future home to the present!

I agree with this, i think there should be more available bus routes that travel all over the city, as well and trains, the United kingdom has trains that travel through all their cities and it is very beneficial to them
@9JDB9JC3mos3MO
The U.S. isn't the Uk though at all. Just because it worked for the UK doesn't mean the same implementation of utilizing trains alongside buses wouldn't work for the U.S. as our land is much greater, state and federal government operates differently, etc.

America is big, but that doesn't mean you're traveling from Seattle to Miami weekly. Rail has worked efficiently before and was very widespread (especially in the North,) and with enough determination, it can now work as well.

I agree having a more functional interstate and local road systems as well as a more developed bus and train system would greatly benefit the lower to middle class and cut down on fuel spending on just cars.
