Very rural places all over the world have train and bus service. It's a matter of choice that the US doesn't, not a matter of practicality.

I said in other comment. I'm not in the US, I'm in europe we have one of the best train networks of the world. Public transport is funded by the government so is cheaper, even completely free in some cases.

People living in rural areas still chose cars while they have the free will to do so.

If as a species we cannot find the way to make that work there's no incentive for us to keep trying. Luckily I'm sure it's possible, that people say it's not just because propaganda (as I said mostly because the voting split rural/urban). We have achieve harder things as a species. Surely we can have people in rural areas still using cars (electric cars for instance) without dooming humankind to extinction.
