And America town comes up with a legitimate and affordable way to use electric vehicles and people crap on them for not using bikes.,(reply>), @M J Public transit isn't uncommon in America because it doesn't work. The US used to have an incredible amount of public transport, but through politics and the car industry, it was painted as 'the poor man's choice'. Even now, public transit networks have a hard time getting funded because people who take the bus are considered lesser. Besides, even if you wanted to take public transit in America, train tickets are very expensive and you'd likely need a car to get to your actual destination anyway, since the bus networks are really bad if they are even there at all.,(reply>), @Margaret Wilson Because Americans designed their cities around the car.,(reply>), Margaret Wilson a lot of Europeans don’t understand how large American suburbs are, I can’t speak to this particular place but if I wanted to walk from one end of my suburb to the other it would be somewhere around eight hours, and it’s not considered very large, it’s actually a subsection of a larger suburb. On a golf cart you cut that time in quarters, that is huge. That’s also why public transit doesn’t really work here, it is an order of magnitude more expensive for the same effect.,(reply>), @Cobb Knobbler Yea, because he's quite specific here. If you don't know what he's talking about you're not really qualified for the current discussion.<br><br>Car engines are much less efficient at generating power(in the physics sense) than any stationary plant. Even when accounting for transmission losses and Electric motors.,(reply>), @Cobb Knobbler power plants are more efficient than car engines
