OK. Back to reality. USA has many fine public transportation systems. And they are in Major Metropolitan areas. Just like Europe. Used them in Boston, Miami/ South Florida, Atlanta and Washington DC.

We're not Europe. We were founded by Europeans that wanted some space. A n d w e a r e s p r e a d o u t.

My comment was regarding their pollution controls. Like we have here.

Cars? "My Kids" (read Eastern Europeans) love to ride in cars! A ride to town in comfort, a ride home after work with a bike in the back of the pick-up truck in the rain or a trip to the beach with the top down, A/C and tunes blasting.
Or ride the bus. Or the bike.

Thank you.
I'll stick with a sedan to get to work and drive more than 2 bags of groceries home. Not a luxury
A truck for a drive to the Recycle and Trash Transfer-station AND haul a boat AND work. Not a luxury
AND a nice old convertible to hit the beach with. Minor luxury. It's worth MAYBE $3,000

I worked hard to keep off the bus.
