Kazakhstan (17/mi^2) has a lower population density than all but 5 US states (SD, ND, MT, WY, AK), and a much lower density than the USA as a whole (85/mi^2), but supports a national rail system with 21 million trips per year: https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/1031931654116397058 …https://twitter.com/tonybalogna/status/1052596900795437057 …

The transit in those cities isn't good in the first place! They have embarrassingly bad transit *relative to their size,* and this is the case in smaller cities too. Toyama has a transit mode share of just 4%--but Omaha, despite similar population, can't even clear 2%.

I like that people have this idea that Boston and NYC somehow have Euro like transit services.

As anyone who has lived in either one and spent time outside an airport in Europe knows, they're not even in the same league.
