Here in the Netherlands our public transport is pretty well done, but the main issue is that the cost of tickets is unbearably high for our train system so having that cheaper would certainly increase ridership and decrease car dependency
Its so hard hearing the term “car dependancy” come out from the netherlands while I’m stuck in North America. Theres definitely room for improvement still in the netherlands but at least the bones of the city are still intact. Its arguable harder to fix most of north america in its current state than starting fresh would have been.
Oh yeah 100%

Oh yeah it isn’t nearly as bad as the US but outside of big cities you’re still dependent on your car
