Here in the not so "pinko-commie" bastion of capitalism which is North America, every one of our major cities have public transit systems that are run very efficiently. I live in a suburb about 30k outside of Toronto and can take a local bus to the GO (Government of Ontario) Transit station for my commuter ride in to Union Station then transfer to a TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) subway, streetcar, bus or ferry with just the one ticket.
I remember when (pre Thatcher) every community in Britain had a similar reliable public transit system, now it's distincly third world.
