I am European. Public transport that sucks is not a US exclusive.

Your pro arguments solely apply to the inner city transport, where I already agreed that this is absolutely OK.

Leave the inner city, where bus services drop to once an hour during the rush hours and less outside, and a car quickly gets unavoidable, despite all the car-free world fantasies of some.

I said american thinking, not american problem.

Not really, that's why i provide solution, and i never demand it to be car free, because it's unavoidable. Do give my comment another read, i mentioned car parking at the station, bus and bicycle as an alternative last mile solution for people who prefer that. Also your perspective really just based on now, not how it can be.

I too live in a country with horrible public transport, and i have to drive 24km to work, yet i can imagine a world where this is possible. It's really just about perspective.
