However, there are alternatives, and your economy is tailored a bit to
take that into account. Much larger public transit, buses, shorter
distances, etc. US doesn't have that. Everything is too spread out. Its
not out of the norm to travel 20-30 miles to work. Where I live, there
aren't buses, no subways, no trolleys, the road isnt designed to
take bikes into account, etc. Only place that has that stuff is the very
down town of your bigger cities.
