I don't understand it from an American perspective. Is this a standard practice in large companies?

Just slap an American flag on it and call it "Patriot Solar."

So if I go to Google Street View for New Woodstock I won't see a single car? I'll only see a single bus servicing the whole community? Or is this just a fantasy you're describing?

Some kids in my area have bus rides of over an hour each way. There are dozens of school buses for the school. It's a huge tax cost.

You are out of your mind if you think this would be acceptable or even feasible for the average person, let alone the disabled or elderly.

Other than trains and bicycles, what were the main transportation options before cars other than horses?

> Did you know that humans existed before cars? Or am I really dumb and short-sighted for believing that could have ever happened?

Yeah, I'm not going back to horse and buggy.

Of course I would take transit for daily tasks, if it were available, but that just isn't possible everywhere.

I live on a road that started as a literal horse path by the original settlers. I am surrounded by 750k acres of National Forest. I live here to not be close to town. There is no situation in which public transit could reasonably service my area, which is fine! Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Are you taking the train to the grocery store?

My area still has functioning train station and it ain't getting me anywhere but to another train station.

Like what, a bus? I don't think my town of 800 could support one.

I don't think Europeans really understand how rural most of America is compared to Europe.

I live a half an hour drive from the closest grocery store. That's a long bike ride, bud.

You build muscle in the gym and lose weight in the kitchen. It really is that simple.
