No, it works because Amsterdam has infrastructure in place to make it work. My "home" town is Bath in England - population of ~90000, and vastly smaller than Amsterdam. However, the transit infrastructure there is terrible. It's also worth noting that Amsterdam has not always been how it is today: in the 70s and 80s it was filled with cars.

Right, because LA is built for cars not people.

Yeah, LA has a lot of work to do to catch up.

What about it? I do it all the time. Faster than taking surface streets in a car during rush hour for sure.
