We’re in Japan right now and I’m so angry about how amazing their infrastructure is. We’ve been all over Tokyo, and now down in Odawara and took a day trip up into the mountains of Hokone and every single thing has been facilitated by public transit. We looked at taking an Uber once at the end of a very long day to avoid more walking, but even then decided hitting up the train again was worth it when we saw the Uber cost.
I have an EV and I love it, but if the Bay Area in CA could have this level of usable public transportation I’d drop my car in an instant. Instead if I want to visit friends that are 4 miles away from me I can either drive for 7 minutes or take a 90 minute bus trip with two transfers.
Yup! I left the US for Denmark and the public transit was a driving (pun intended) factor. We went from a bunch of vehicles (3 cars and 4 motorcycles) to bicycles and taking the train and I absolutely love it
