Where is this utopia?
NYC is one of the few places in the USA where you can mostly just get on a train or bus and go. It's pretty great. There's room for improvement - some lines are better than others, and off peak you can wait half an hour if you just miss it. But mostly it just works
Berlin, any EU micronation, Amsterdam
Tbh, most capital cities in EU either have it or are close to it, just it gets shit when in the boonies
Here in Sweden this exists, during rushhour there is a bus every 5-10 min to connect me from my suburb to the Stockhom underground (which also departs every 5 min) so I can get to work.
During weekends the service is reduced to a bus every 10-20 (somtimes 30) min to get to the local railroad station with similar departure frequency.
If you need to drive (to get out into the country side), there are few traffic jams, or you can take a bike.
