Shut the fuck up with that "rural needs cars" bullshit.
Ive lived in a rural area & cities before lol, cars are needed in rural regions unfortunately. Cities however have very little need for them.
Read that part please.
No, I am telling you as someone who lived in a very rural area it is not the case. I cycle and taking an hour each way to cycle to a small local town up multiple steep hills isnt entirely viable for day to day and during the dark months. Between towns such as where I worked in the town over from my local one? Forget it not doable. Villages with 20 people cant really be served by effecient bus services very well either
The mosy rural places in the world have been served by trains, before getting cars there worked.
Life would be different, maybe, but I'm sorry, you're projecting car brain here.
There are several different train solutions that would work, and if you were genuinely interested, you would probably know about them by now.
You just like your car.
I know of the former railways, they were all industrial lines that didnt really have decent passenger services up in the hills, sticking railways around the region for small far apart villages dotted all over the place? Lol lmao & I currently dont own a car and cycle everywhere but ok.
No you don't. Look at mexico. Look at the ussr.
Sorry for the car comment; that wasn't called for.
I live in neither of those regions and the terrain and size of settlements is different, the USSR had largely highly centralised concentrated settlements that were pre planned, Mexico is reasonably well populated throughout and often has towns on plateaus & again largely has recentish planned settlements throughout.
Kindly do not say I "dont know" about a region I lived and breathed and was born in for 20 years.
They've had cool solutions that would have worked.
Empty departure timings (anarchist railroad), my brain isnt so i can't explain this well right now. Also been tried... Somewhere in i think europe.

Fucking siberia. Fucking. Siberia.
Theres a first nations tribe surrounded by canada that has a cool solution too. Currently operating afaik.
