your average american really does not comprehend what they are missing with functional public transit. I just started googling a trip back to Germany and found out I can get pretty much everywhere I want to go (in and out of the big city) in a week for about 30 dollars total without ever getting in a car. Can you imagine??? I can't even drive myself in to Houston from the suburbs for less than $20 (+$10 for parking), and it's death-defying stunt traffic all the way. OR in the same amount of time that that takes I could take a train (A TRAIN!!!) directly from a hostel in munich to my home village in rural bavaria--for 15 buckaroos.
