US public transportation is pathetic, but prior to the 1960's it was quite extensive only to be destroyed by the oil and automobile lobbyists.

And if they're hadn't thrashed the railcars, the cities might look wildly different.

Thing is, we are where we are now. We can't just tear down all the cities and start over. We have to deal with what we've got.

I mean, Europe hasn't torn it's cities down (well not all of them and not for rebuilding purposes anyway) despite managing to utilise good public transport.

Then again guess your point is rather that American cities were built stupidly car centric and that somehow those can't be replaced with any sort of public transport?
