People of lemmy, would you live in a rural area? Why or why not?

    Give me good public transport and good internet on the country side and I’m all for it.

      In a lot of places the internet is there, but realistically the public transport never will be. It would cost so much to provide a service in every rural area that 3 people use that its totally infeasible. I think this is the situation where cars make sense, for people where public transport isn’t a realistic option.

        Cars make sense because the public transport hasn’t been built out. Trams could be used without the need to employ drivers until self-driving cars come around.

        There’s a lot that can be done if the will were there.
