Are you kidding? Here in the US drunks allow themselves to be propped up

MADD and all their wisdom don't have enough clout to take on the
oil/auto industries with their political backers in a manner to change the
public transportation systems of the US one iota.

I'm sorry to say that the US public transportation system is Second World,
but that is by design.
