From everything I am learning about the US on Youtube by transport people, they universally despise bus service in North America cities.

Some have light rail but at a far smaller rate then cities in Europe.

There are tiny cities in Europe that have more light rail then cities 10x the size in North America.

My tiny town of less then 100k people literally has more extensive bus and train connection then most cities in the US that have million+ people.

> But in a big country with a spread-out population, public transportation is tough.

Compare for example Switzerland (lots of maintains, rivers, hills and so on), with a equally sized metro area like Torronto, Dalles and so on.

The reality is many of your metro areas are the literal exact opposite of spread out, they are just badly designed.

Zürich for example is a city that has only like 600k people, with maybe 1.5M in the larger metro area and Zürich has more trains and trams going then whole Texas city triangle.

So please stop with the excuse about how everything is so spread out in the US. Its not spread out, its just badly designed.
