We already spend billions on “public transport services”. We just spend it in one of the least efficient ways possible. Roads and highways. It costs so much to maintain the infrastructure is crumbling and people are too car-brained to admit how awful the situation is.

I challange you to find one American who doesn’t constantly complain about their local roads. I’ve driven everywhere across the US excluding the pacific north west and everywhere I’ve been ppl complain about lack of up keep. Rightfully so
But how many are actually willing to give up cars and use public transport instead if given the choice? In my experience, most people want to be able to continue using their cars but with glowing roads and little traffic hahahaha. That’s what we mean when we say people are car-brained, most people want magic solutions to be able to continue to use their stupid, contaminating, inneficient cars. EVs will fix the contamination hahaha. And another lane will fix traffic for sure hahaha. These people are just too dumb to realize that it’s literally impossible to do what they want once you have areas with “high” population density. Instead, as you just mentioned, most people just complain like dumbasses like that’s good for anything.
Give up your cars for what? There is no viable public transit in the US. Amtrak is a joke and NYC’s subways are falling a part. Same for Boston, DC, and Philly. The most used public transit systems in the country. You HAVE to be car centric because that’s the only reliable mode of transportation inside and outside of cities. It’s going to take decades to improve public infrastructure to the point public transit is reliable.
We should’ve done this 50 years ago but your blaming ppl for being carcentric in a country who’s public transit is almost nonexistent?
Perfect example. I lived in DC for 4 or 5 years. The metro(subway) was on fire so much it was a common excuse for showing up late for work
