A lot of people in rural parts of Europe get around by bus and train.
They're only not viable if you genuinely live in the middle of nowhere.
Rural parts of Europe are much smaller than rural parts of America. The challenges are different and the comparison doesn't quite fit.
That requires subsidies though. And it has to be at least 5 days a week.
Near my hometown in Estonia there was a bus line that if you depended on it to get to town, you had to wait till next week to get back. Local gvt didn't pay for enough trips per week. I believe it got fixed after it got some media attention.
