In Europe most passenger railway companies are nationalised (or at least heavily controlled by state owned entities), and rail transport in Europe is arguably much better than in the US.

...and definitely not say, higher population density and/or government policy.

Maybe if you don't include deserts and Alaska in the density calculations you would get comparable numbers.

- Why don't big american cities have trolleybus?

- Because density , imagine putting those buses in the desert, would be stupid

- But why not put the infrastracuture starting from high density areas ?

- You are making sense now, let me find other excuse ... it is because culture/freedom/short history/ the constitution , the yellow party

- I don't have time to logicaly analize all those excuses, next time maybe
