Mass transit doesn't get you exactly where you need to go. In areas with lower population density, it's especially unprofitable and difficult to implement -- and even if communities can afford it, it will deliver people even FARTHER from where they need to go.

I'm a transit advocate, but there are some fundamental issues that need to be resolved first, especially in North America.

Even in Europe, there are a lot of places you can't get to or get to easily without a car. I've done long distance walks in England, for example, and once you get beyond cities and larger towns, it's often the case that there may be a once or twice a day bus.
