A lot of North American metropolitan areas aren't dense enough to support a comprehensive/affordable public transit system. The basic structure of the cities and their suburbs need to be changed.

Something like 75% of commuters drive alone, which is both an infrastructure problem and a lifestyle problem depending on whichever person you're talking about. We need modernized transit systems, which would double as a recession-killer with enough force behind it (let's build a goddamn train to the future!). Of course, politically impossible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp6U_5qEE0Y

Obama responds to accusations the unemployment report right before election 2012 contained tainted data. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lHgbbM9pu4 This is the only unemployment chart that matters: the employment/population ratio (in black). It hasn't moved one bit in 5 yrs. So all BS aside, there is no recovery.

Lord Lambeth posted:Maybe the option is to make taking the bus a more comfortable option. Like Bogota, Colombia did: European transport is pretty comfy but at the same time European tends to have smaller cars then runs more miles per gallon.   But to be honest how America was built it didn't have public transport in mind so people live out in the suburbs to go a long way. I honestly think the answer is just for the US to stop love roleplaying being in the army in their SUV and making excuses like "well I own a dog!" *ignores that so do Europe*. Just get a less gas guzzler, in UK your car tax bracket is based partly on the C02 your car produces and the miles per gallon it can go. Also it does make the rest of the world laugh when Americans complain about their petrol prices going to $5 a gallon when its almost double everywhere else and never goes down.

This may surprise you, but Europe is not "the rest of the world." Americans also bitch about gas prices because, like it or not, they generally really need cars more. Sure, in big cities you can make do, and we should REALLY improve infrastructure. But I would literally lose my job if I did not have a car. My wife would not be able to do her job without a car, and the odds of them building a rail line out to a state park in the middle of nowhere are pretty much slim and none.

The Dark One posted:A lot of North American metropolitan areas aren't dense enough to support a comprehensive/affordable public transit system. The basic structure of the cities and their suburbs need to be changed. One of the ways you create density is by building public transit. That's why many municipalities are falling over themselves to construct tiny light-rail line; first you build the transit skeleton, then the density springs up around it. This is also the reason mass transit proponents prefer rail lines over buses. Buses just don't encourage the same kind of development. You need to look at these problems from the perspective of an a municipal planner. What tools do you have at your disposal? To a large extent they rely on transportation budgets and zoning laws. If they want to achieve certain outcomes, we have to manipulate these tools.

All the countries below US in the graph you posted have lower income and or are oil rich countries. You do if you live in a city like New Orleans where they still haven't figured out how to build roads yet. There are holes in the roads bigger than a hatchback, conditions which are considered normal and acceptable.
