While the UK does not have great suburban public transport it is far better than what is available in most of the US.

Ironically car dependent cities like LA were built out as streetcar suburbs so they’re not really all that different to London’s ‘metroland’ suburbs built out around tube lines. The big difference is the job centres are far more distributed. When offices as well as homes are widely distributed public transport becomes very tricky.
