There's definitely a lot of truth to that, Europe is not a monolith in terms of transport infrastructure.

On the other hand, it's hard to overstate just how radically car-centric the majority of the infrastructure in the USA is.

The point is that Europe is not much better when one goes outside the regional capitals of each state, or district, depending on how each country is organised.

Most towns and villages are also not great examples of infrastructure, especially in the southern countries.

I love the accessibility and diversity of large city living in the US, but it is definitely the exception to the rule. The US is hoping for technological breakthroughs in self driving electric cars to bail us out from the sprawl we've created.
