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.
Yeah, I'm not going back to horse and buggy.
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.
My area still has functioning train station and it ain't getting me anywhere but to another train station.
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.
