    You missed the point. It’s an American problem because our public transport got gutted or never even existed in the first place.

      I don’t think they missed the point, they just expanded that it isn’t only an American problem.

      This is a problem in many countries besides America. The same shit happens in Canada. I remember elderly people crashing cars into buildings on the news occasionally growing up in Fake London, Ontario
