Resonosity comments on Expecting heavy industry greenwashing of this

In the US and for those that live outside of municipal boundaries and that live in unincorporated regions, lots of states have "townships" that are the default local government below county-level. Municipal corporations like towns and cities replace townships.

Still, those townships have local governments that can be engaged with politically.

And then there's counties in the US which act as the local government overseeing townships, etc.

People's political activism doesn't have to start and end in towns/cities.

Do the have a local government capable of building effective municipal transport?

They might be able to put a bus on that takes half a day to cover all the scatted houses, but nobody is going to use it.

A bus network is a good first step, yes.

And why all the pushback against political action? You're giving off doomer vibes.

No not doomed. I'm just tired of people thinking that public transport works in every situation.

People live in different places, and have different needs. I live where there's very good public transport and yet my commute would be 4x the time and 10x the cost if I had no option but to use it. People who live in rural areas will never have good public transport as the practicalities don't make sense.

So I still see a need for private transport. I just want it to be as clean as possible.
