I have friends in cities that take mass transit whenever they can. Its an option for people in large cities, but not in the rest of the country. I'm willing to take mass transit, but I can't...

Lots of the places in Norway I go are VERY remote... and they all seem to have no problem with mass transit...
You may have to walk a mile or 3 but you get there and it's not that bad.
Bikes reduce times if you're worried about getting to work on time...
I'm not saying that EVERYONE could get along without a car or use mass transit solely... I'm saying americans OPT to use their cars a LOT more than most countries... AND on top of it pay less for fuel than those who are more concervative with it... AND on top of that complain about "high" prices when they pay a tenth of what any other western country pays for gas.
