@oyasumisushi: Replying to @Marzipan Pig this may be true, but i can’t speak to it since i grew up in Japan, which has amazing public transit. #usa #japan #america #europe #car #cartok #cars
The misconception people have is that they don't understand how good our hwy system is

Road trips are, like, a whole thing. They have their own snacks, drinks, playlists, games. You really get to know people on the road

The fact is even in places with trains and subways we still really like using cars, it's nice having heated seats, choosing which songs to blast, kinda like a mobile mini home

I think a mix of public transport and cars would be a good solution. Your point on “being in control” and “how fast I’ll go” are problems though. It’s precisely giving control of 2 ton death machines

So I grew up with minimal public transit, moved to a city with good transit, now in suburbs outside dependent on car again & I hate it. Also you’re never 100% in control in a car, because of all the

When I travel I do enjoy visiting remote parks and trails and such. How am I supposed to get there with no car. There’s too much America for a train or even bus system to cover.

I’d be totally fine with a better public transit system. I LOVED the public transit option living in Los Angeles, but that’s same stucture is abysmal in rural areas (especially the Midwest).

If we had an affordable train system that is fast I would travel back home to visit family more. I hate driving 25hrs to go visit family, more so as I've gotten older.

Part of the fun of a road trip is the freedom to stop in different places along the way! Sometimes it’s a new city, sometimes it’s the world’s largest ball of yarn, it’s always an adventure.

Japan has some of the greatest car culture in the world, I don’t think it’s that. Its walkability. When I lived in PDX I loved public transit, but in MI I’d rather drive than get on a bus.

as an american who lives somewhere with virtually zero public transportation who has visited places with robust public transport, i would rather take a train over a car a thousand percent of the time

I lived in countries with "excellent" public transport, including a few in Europe. Still chose to have a car, comfortable, cold AC, heated seats, keep my things in there, don't have to rely on where the train/subways go.

I think one of the reasons Japan is so easy for people to visit is because of its public transportation. You can do so much without renting a car.

I would use trains for longer distance travel if it was more convenient than the train I have access to now in the US. If I lived somewhere more bikeable I would bike more than I do now too

Road trips are fun, drove to the mediterranean last year, kept it to 6/7 hours per day, but most driving is just commuting isn' it, in a car that is boring and tiresome, in PT it can be quite relaxing

Yeah bro, but USA could easily build a TGV level cross country train w 300 miles/h speed and cars can’t even go half. In every hour it goes then a lot would choose it for long distances.

America structurally can't have European transit systems. it's built around the car and that's path dependent. everything is too spread out for it to be efficient.
