Wait what, the US has distance based transit pricing?

    For some systems. The NYC subway and buses you pay once to get on and you can go as far as you want. NJ Transit right over the river you buy a ticket specific for your start and end, and it costs more if you go farther.

    (I didn't watch the video because I'm supposed to be working and I don't like video as a format, but hopefully this is what you meant)

    The San Francisco systems have at least some of that. You're supposed to use a card to get in and out of the trains and you're charged by distance.

    Most systems don't really have such a thing, though many have one way or time-based tickets (like 2 hours).
