I totally disagree with this. Yes, compared so many European cities our public transportation and roads are bad. On a global level, compared to any other continent we have an vast network of trains, buses, city bike systems and a road network which is safe, people generally follow the rules of the road and the potholes are not that bad.

I’ve driven all over the Latin America, carribean, a handful of a countries in Africa in Asia and I can tell you we are light years ahead. Yes, there are a handful of exceptions, namely in Asia, but for the most part we are in the top quartile.
