America is almost completely dependent on the
automobile, and this has been a terrible mistake.
Even in the 1950s, a large percentage of Americans used public transport. But the big car
manufacturers
wanted them to buy cars, and local governments cooperated with the manufacturers,
with the result that countless excellent tramway and rail systems were destroyed. Today, the entire
American lifestyle is dictated by the motor car. Homes are far from work, and shopping is far from
everything. In between there is nothing but ugly stretches of concrete or asphalt roads for the motor
car.
