Carbrain is a bugger. It took much less than a century for people to go from protesting cars to "yes please, can I have another."
North America went from having a sprawling ubiquitous continental rail system to saying that rail would never work here because we're a sprawling continent.
And how do we get around the country? Yea I could rent a vehicle every time I want to leave the city. But that wouldn't be preactucle since I live outside of the city.
As the other person said, rail is the way. Look up China's high speed rail. Why would we want to do 110km/h on beat up roads when we could do 350km/h on smooth rail? Road rage or read a book? I'd much rather read a book.
