Yeah, America acts like transit is not viable. Back in my mom's era she was taking the city bus to school at 7 years old.

Just yesterday I was at an organized work event (at an events center), when it was done I walked across the street and got right on the bus, transfered at at a Norths-South East-West corner and dropped off a block from my house.

It's actually more pleasant than driving because you don't have to worry about idiot drivers, and I got to hear some locals exchanging recipe ideas, and where to buy the best avacados. 😀
