Japan is awesome like this, they have amazing highways and rail. Tokyo in my option is a bit too car friendly but it’s still very walkable and rideable.

If that system existed in America, what would it take to keep it as clean and as safe? (Edit: I visited Japan and loved the train system)

The fact that it barely measures up to our second largest state would reinforce my point.
