You are stating unequivocally that every bus in every European country is nicer than the average bus in the US?

It is not even controversial or anormal. If nobody cares about an infrastructure and reluctantly maintains it only because it _has_ to (e.g. by federal mandate), then yeah, you get bottom-of-the-barrel service and a negative feedback loop (no ridership → cuts).

Successful transit systems work when the political will is there to support it.
