    Why can’t you just bike in a village?

    It’s not about biking in a village. It’s about biking out of a village to a denser urban center. The place where the trains are.

    You’re quite closed minded.

    I think it’s closed minded to assume that trains and bikes can replace all utility of cars, or that cars will never be in a state where the impact on the environment is negligible.

    there’s buses

    That’s just a big fucking car.

      If the infrastructure exists for cars, it can exist for trains.

      1 bus > 25 cars. Or how many ever it seats.

      Btw, I’m pretty sure places that are that remote rely on planes. Some parts of alaska are like that if I’m remembering correctly.
