Wait what, the US has distance based transit pricing?
Most importantly: the US has no actual system, just a patchwork of small providers.
So the answer is: yes! / no! / maybe!? / which transit?
All depending on location...
For some systems. The NYC subway and buses you pay once to get on and you can go as far as you want. NJ Transit right over the river you buy a ticket specific for your start and end, and it costs more if you go farther.
(I didn't watch the video because I'm supposed to be working and I don't like video as a format, but hopefully this is what you meant)
We have it too in India (in addition to daily/monthly passes). I thought that was common?
The San Francisco systems have at least some of that. You're supposed to use a card to get in and out of the trains and you're charged by distance.
Most systems don't really have such a thing, though many have one way or time-based tickets (like 2 hours).
