I find that Europeans and people from the UK who have not been here generally just don't understand this about the USA. Things are far apart here, and for the most part we don't have transportation alternatives. Most of us don't have access to passenger train service. Bus service is very limited, and very slow. It's driving in our cars or not getting there.
I have a choice of a 1 1/2 hour bus ride twice a day for a dollar twenty-five each way, or a 15 minute drive twice a day for about 2 dollars each way. Of course, this doesn't factor in the cost of the vehicle, but they can be had quite cheaply here.
