Utter tripe.
Where I live it's dozens of little villages scattered about here and there, with four sizable towns.
Weaving public transport through all of those places is impractical.
I can't function using public transport that'll take me an hour or two to get between appointments in different places when it's a fifteen minute drive.
To get close to that you need so many buses running empty and so many routes it's insane.
Maybe let local people decide what's right for them instead of making blanket proclamations for everyone and every place?
You're getting downvoted because it's a fuckcars com, but you're not exactly wrong. Plus, I don't see how we could effectively get rid of cars without making everyone move to the cities.
I agree.
Rural public transport could absolutely be way better, especially if it was viewed as a public service, not a business.
There's plenty of places where even an optimised solution would mean cars aren't needed.
Question is to cover rural communities as-is, do you and up practically replacing every car on the road with a bus? Bus is generally only better if you have significantly fewer of them to scale.
