The problem is that the built environment is so focused on car transit in America that many people can’t even visualize public transit.

When the residential zone is 10 miles from the nearest commercial zone and the suburbs are built with winding roads (albeit to reduce car speed) they can’t picture busses or trains existing in their current space.

This is bolstered by private property and the immense difficulty of re-designing or relocating individuals with private land that the spent their whole working lives paying for.

The system in America is specifically designed to make public transit impossible to implement without complete changes in the built environment that pits the designers against everyone who owns any amount of land.
