Folks in the US are happy to spend tax dollars on roads, it's just that mass transit spending is considered communism.

To be fair to the anti-train crowd, we've been led so far down this disastrous path of car-led sprawl that the hope of even building feasible buses that can reach into the byzantine suburbs is unlikely.

So, maybe our best hope is self-driving EVs? At least in our lifetimes.
