It already takes me an hour to get to work from my rural home. You wanna make it two?
Which is exactly why we need to build better public transit?
Would that mean faster buses through the village?
Maybe spend a few billion on a high-speed rail though the countryside to my little place?
What harm could that do?
No need for HSR if ur place doesn't need the capacity provided by HSR. But yes, buses are definitely the best option in this case. Better infrastructure for buses would mean this:
Sooo yeah... Building and maintaining bus infrastructure is tremendously cheap in the grand scheme of things, especially when compared to private cars and the infrastructure required to sustain private cars.
Also, buses come in different sizes, meaning that no matter how small your town is, there can always be frequent bus service that is also efficient at the same time.
