The main reason public transit is what it is in Europe is because of how WW2 ravaged the continent. Maybe WW3 will do the same.
And that means what?
I'm not familiar with that theory, but Europe has been building a robust public transit network since the early 20th century. The wars only slowed progress. Most Subway systems, rail networks, city buses, etc were quite strong already in the 30's.
ww3 involves nukes, i doubt very much infrastructure was left by the time it ends.
Never heard that theory but it makes sense. I just assumed they were denser and liked digging tunnels more.
We better get flying trains after this one
