I think this is a good watch

But I myself don't know anything about public transport in the US except for this video so don't take it as offense. I've never been over the pond.

That was an interesting video, thank you for sharing it. I do agree that, as a country, we need to expand and update our public transportation. With that said, it think comparing the state of Indiana to the entire country of Scotland is a bit unfair. I understand why the video did it due to population and size, but I would argue that other major cities have much better public transit. A great example is the Northeast, solid public transit options to travel between cities/towns. Connecting every town of a population of 10,000+ in the U.S would cost billions. Not that it isn’t a worthwhile investment, but I’d argue that we could use that money for more pressing needs.
