Speaking from a German perspective: We used to have a great solution to public transport in areas that are spread out: public transport infrastructure that is also spread out.
I've lived in several rural areas, all of which used to be connected to rail lines before those were closed down in the 70s to "modernize" transportation (for cars).
If you lived in an area without a rail connection, you'd probably drive a tractor more than a car.
Rent in the city is double rural rent. We need regular public transit. Trolly even.
