You also spend 2 hours per day stuck in traffic

It's a practicality sort of thing. New York couldn't survive without the subway. It's also cheaper, faster and much more convenient driving.

Driving is a massive pain in the ass, why not walk and ride the train if you need to reach farther distances?

but i always been told that using public transportation is 1st world attitude.

Nope, that only happens in Brazil. Outside of cities like LA, Boston, or New York, traffic is comparatively minimal.

.

it's due city planning, their cities are old, crammed and have narrower street and boulevards, making them more pedestrian-friendly and making public transport a more effective way of getting around, while yours are younger and more adapted to automobiles (possessing a car is almost a necessity in some us cities while that's never the case in europe)

it has nothing to do income, you find personalities and wealthy people take the metro and tram there

American public transport sounds like hell for what I've heard. Sucks to be you.

In most of the real cities the public transport is actually more expensive then what would you give just for a petrol if there were no other payments and fees for parking and roads and entering different city zones and such.
The thing is, the public transport is mostly just faster and more convenient.

It's good that your commute is so fast though, I live in the city and use my car nevertheless but I'm lucky enough to live and work on the periphery so traffic isn't a problem. The city centres (older, narrower parts of almost any city here) get clogged very easily, especially now that Lisbon is becoming increasingly touristy and many roads in Old Lisbon are becoming public transportation and residents only roads.

ie. streets like this one used to be open to cars

Education is free in Russia, right? Then just do something desirable there and pitch it to an American company. That or online date an American girl for a few years and marry her. Many Russians have fled your shithole and are quite happy here, Russian-Americans actually make more money than your typical American here. And you'll be making so much money relative to Russia you can always go back and have a hell of a time for vacations, etc.

And now for some actual numbers.

The size of the road network in the US is 6,586,610 kilometers with 809 cars for every 1,000 people and the average driver covering 21,726 kilometers a year. With a population of 318,900,000 this means that American drivers cover a total of 5,605,093,000,000 kilometers a year, or 850,982 multitudes for each kilometer of road. This is by no means an actual trustworthy value, it's just meant as a relative point of comparison.

In Germany the size of the road network is 644,480 kilometers with 588 cars for every 1,000 people and the average driver covering 11,500 kilometers a year. With a population of 80,620,000 this means that German drivers cover a total of 545,152,000,000 kilometers a year, or 845,878 multitudes for each kilometer of road.

In conclusion, even though we have 27% fewer cars than Americans and each driver covers 47% less distance than in the US, our roads are very nearly exactly as populated as yours, and that's probably not even considering the plentitude of lanes on most American roads. It's absolutely foolish to expect us to drive even more given our circumstances.

The truth lies somewhere in the middle. It's impossible to ignore the benefits of the car especially after such a long time of using it, but it would be beneficial to engage in planning which reduces travel distances and can offer public transport or muscular transport as options.

I use public transport when:

- when there's a lot of building and rebuilding going on in the ceter or near me and it's much faster to use it then to drive to work;

- when I'm hangover as shit and I know I got some % and I'd loose my drivers licence if caught.
