Have you seen North American public transportation?

Yeah, I have a "choice", but it's 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.

    Yeah, North America and US specifically is one of these hard to reach places

    Also, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance - if you have any semblance of bike infrastructure, that is. Surprisingly though, even American cities have that sometimes.

    Also, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance

    My 15 minute car commute would take over an hour with a bicycle, lead me over multiple busy and dangerous country roads, has three mountains with over 20% elevation that I have to pass, and would be incredibly unsafe in the winter even with studded tires.

    Don't get me wrong, I actually do take my bicycle when I'm not in a hurry and the weather is right. But it's a huge time sink and doesn't absolve my of my dependency on a car.

    The same commute takes 2 hours with public transport btw so that's even worse

    And this is in Germany, not north America
