New York City tried that and we ended up with a subway full of crack addicts, homelessness, public nudity, etc. Trains should either be for a long trip but only once in a while or a last resort in a large city.

Is that a public transport problem or a US culture problem?

How often do you ride the subway? Thousands of people take the subway in NYC everyday of all income levels, it’s a pretty big success.

I visited NYC a while back. The subway impressed me. People call it dirty and say it is full of crackheads. Despite this, it was clean and orderly during my visit.

Cars. I mean it works well enough right now and there isn’t any good solution other than them.

Cars in big cities are horrible. Terribly inefficient, requiring orders of magnitude more infrastructure, killing air quality and pedestrians alike, and leading to even more suburban sprawl. Cars are not compatible with high population density.
