What I meant is that the US is always more extreme but we have the same trends here.

Where I'm from if you have the choice you avoid public transport because it's not very practical: buses are crowded and trains aren't flexible enough.

Ah the classic, nobody drives in the city anymore, there’s too much traffic.

Overcrowded busses and trains are pretty strong indicator they’re doing something right.

In the US a “frequent” train service is every hour. In Europe a frequent train service is every 20min. In a major EU city, it’s every 90 seconds.

The US isn’t just an extreme, it’s an entirely different, almost incomparable, ballgame.
