Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s pothole purge saw nearly 8,000 craters filled in a single day – the same number that would usually take New York’s Department of Transport (DOT) a week.
Tokyo seems to be bigger than New York and it’s only issue with transit AFAIK is overcrowding, which is also a consequence of other things.
My “USA state”-sized country can get me from one end to another in less than a day of trains too.
The issue still doesn’t sound to be size, but awful management over decades. It’s too far gone to easily fix, and it’s not the people’s fault, but it still sounds like something to take the piss out of the country for.
Tens of millions of Americans quite literally don’t have either of those things available to them for delivery services.
A German ex once told me that “people from the EU simply cannot understand how large and spread out the USA is until they travel here.”

JFC, I’m talking about delivery via local mass transit. Of course we have long distance passenger trains.
Your response literally highlights my previous statement. This issue w/ the USA is undercrowding as far as mass transit goes.
