This is honestly a good reason in my opinion why having everything be so car centric in the US is such a bad idea. If there are other transportation s than driving then you can gate keep driving more with more strict drivers license requirements and pull licenses from bad drivers more easily, but as it stands in the US you need to be able to drive to function as a member of society so if someone has a DUI pulling their license is almost as bad as giving that person house arrest for the rest of their life.

Obviously cars are still the best form of transportation in a wide variety of situations but it really wouldn’t kill to have a functional bus system that doesn’t take 10x the time to get somewhere as driving
