I disagree strongly about the US not being suitable for public transport.

There are large cities that could introduce effective metro services and that would be a vast improvement.

Rural areas can remain ICE/BEV.

Show me one State, just a single one, where the majority of Cities have functional mass transit across the entire City which does not take five or six times what a personal vehicle going straight there takes. I'll wait.

The fact that the implementation of public transport is poor is not a criticism of public transport.

No it is an explanation of why the suggestion that it was an option is untenable. Which of course is why at no point did I criticize it.

After the pandemic you want me to share a big box with a load of strangers? Nope.

In the US everything is rural. Did you ever see a map of it?
