man as a indian who does not live in a metro city, the first time i visited bangaluru and chennai and used their metro, i was shocked and pleasantry surprised every city that has more than like 500k - 1mill people deserves a metro IT NEEDS a metro.

Another big one is cleanliness. In the US, public transit is littered with crackheads, creeps, junkies, and bums and as a result, normal people refuse to ride public transit which pretty much leaves only bums and the very desperate using the services. It may sound 'elitist' but until the criminal element on public transit is dealt with, people will refuse to ride public transit even if the services are there.

Bus lanes kick buses out of the way from cars it’s a win win for everyone

Great video. Your channel's sure to blow up and educate millions on why they hate their surroundings so much and how to improve them. Here in LA we're building momentum in that direction, but it's so slow going and piecemeal. We have the same problems with signal priority with many of our metro trains and delays. Yet I can walk outside and see the smog in the air miles down the road because we're so dependent on cars. I really hope videos like yours energize people into demanding massive changes to our transportation and into making changes themselves to walk, bike, and take transit.

Love that final quote. That says it all.

Sometimes it is not the TOD. You can have good transit in low density areas, however, if a Major Transit agency is terminating at a certain area, there would be a Suburban Transit network designed to relieve pressure on the Parkways. Freeways and Expressways, which in turn builds TOD and improves on the current Suburban Transit network.

4:30 a bus stop in my town only recently got a sign, before that it was just a tree. I do live in a transit desert and my household only has one car so it makes it very difficult to coordinate transport for work

This is a amazing video to talk about this I will note if your ever want to do another video about this Look at the American city Chicago there Public transport is very important to the people who live there because 1/3 of the city Doesn’t have cars and public transportation is very important there
@definitelynotacrab7651
Very well said, transit can't be an afterthought and then be expected to be adequate
@user-by3nd4rm6c
Fantastic quote at the end to cap things off!
@boonskis
Thank you for these videos. They are incredibly perceptive: you are pulling together ideas that have been floating around my head for the past 30+ years.
@FlorianHWave
I think the biggest problem by far is crime. I wouldn't take public transport if there are dodgy people or criminals on it, who want to harm me. Even if it's faster.
@StLouis-yu9iz
Awesome video, you’re totally right! ❤
@simon8244
Awesome video,really explains why some North American cities just look and feal empty
@celspade
My city of 90k+ only has two small buses with each of them covering one route. I've only ever taken public transit once and it wasn't even in my own city.
@mildlydispleased3221
Are you really suggesting that there be security checks on public transport? The only reason why North American public transport is so dangerous is due to neglect and only deprived people using it, perpetuating violence. Airport-style checks are not the answer.
