No. No you do not. You need to force your local governments to campaign for better public transport and infrastructure.

So, basically, you're living in a geographic area that's incompatible with your lifestyle, and it only works with taxpayer subsidies for the roads.

    Nah, lifestyle is well suited to the area.

    We have roads here older than every American country and traditions even older.

    The land and the people are one.

    Then get rid of everything with an internal combustion engine and live like your ancestors did on that land, don't expect modernity to be delivered to you by truck while you live your stupid medieval peasant fantasy

    Yeah we don't have trucks here. Except for a few industrial people so you're not making sense.

    Hands up anyone who thinks my ancestors had public transport?!

    If you didn't pay for roads, but you wanted public transit, I don't see how that works.

    There's plenty of room to improve cities without having to bemoan that rural people are living wrong. About the only place I could see is making rural people switch over to intra-city transit instead of trying to have the cars wiork to get within a block of any given destination. That's probably about as far I think to inconvenience rural people to meaningfully improve things.

    Mass transit is only efficient if you have a density of people going the same way at the same time. A bus is only better when you have significant occupancy, and that's not going to happen in very low density living.
