we still have more paved bike paths than the netherlands does.
they are comparing infrastructure for 17 million to 600 million.

the united states has a estimated population of 341.2 Million people.

i don't think the united states have more paved bike paths, I think you're including off-road trails which I'm not referring to. either way we don't have anything comparable in even the same size area as the netherlands. we just got excuses :francis:

I looked up they than more than us by a small margin
We have 18K miles of paved bike paths, netherlands has 22K.
But we also have another 20K of off road biking paths

If the highway plan wasn't impossible, neither is public transit adjustments.
that was a more politically feasible plan because there was a long term profit motive behind it.... along with less animosity between political parties.

There are current political parties that hold anti-public infrastructure ideals as core tenets of their party....

that along with the cost that needs to be approved... will require a massive political shift before the idea is even on the table

like i said... 30-50 years before we even have the political landscape to make this viable....

another 8-20 years before the project would get voted on and passed...

another 6-15 before the project will start

another 15-30 years before it's completed....

we aint seeing this in our lifetime

There was a long term profit motive....for the car industry.

Cities and towns are being bankrupted by all this car infrastructure because maintaining these roads has been a national disaster.
There definitely wasn't a profit for the people.
