What if you had a country with no public transportation infrastructure, where you could invent it from scratch? What would you come up with?

Is there demand? Not sure how one could answer without having an idea the marginal value of a given system (with apologies to Arrow).

In cities that have good public transportation systems, they're all running at capacity, so yes. People want to get around fast and cheap.

Honestly - comprehensive national train network plus subways with bike paths everywhere. Point to point anywhere in country possible by bike

Intermodality is key. Being able to switch between bike, inner-city subway, high-speed train btw cities, VTOL in the future without friction

I'd bet on China for this. Huge cities, industrious population, fast pace, and still not much infrastructure
