    I think that’s also a big point, US is all urban sprawl, and that make it hard to build public transport.

      Still, 80% of people in US live in urban areas. It’s easy to build public transport for them

        Not in any way disagree with that sentiment at all, i’m just responding to the density comment and think urban sprawl is why the density is so low, making everything so far apart, making public transport hard to build, and making everyone impatient and drive fast, which causing so much death on the road. It’s all linked.

            Because it’s different thing, urban sprawl is a way of expanding city and town in a low density, single zoning way, while suburb is simply a residential area right at the edge of city or town, but not spread out enough to be rural.

      That’s average density, but a lot of the US is empty. The more empty places there, the more places that are denser than the average.
