    45% of Americans have no access to public transportation at all, particularly in rural and outer suburban areas.

    And the primary reason for this is that gas is cheap and that there’s little political demand for public transport. Public transport sucks because only the poorest of the poor use it. In places where the working and middle class use it, it actually provides decent service.

    Good public transport and low gas prices are mutually exclusive.
