Things is most European countries are smaller than the US many the size of one US state so makes sense until I can drive 600 miles on a single charge I'll keep buying a gas car because I can go 600 miles on one tank the US is just too large to recharge that often.
What's your point? If the countries are the size of one state, then why doesn't each state have a public transit network like each of the countries in Europe?
Because GM tore it all down ages ago
I understand why, I was responding to his claim that the US is "too big" for transit.
Because a bulk of our tax dollars go to the federal government not the state and they don't have quite as many insane politicians who believe in shit like chemtrails and flat Earth.
