Most people in the US absolutely live in areas where Mass Transit should be an option. Like 80% of us live on either coast, and both coasts are basically just one continuous city at this point. Sure we call the areas different names, because that's where the city started, but the coasts are effectively two massive cities that should absolutely have robust mass transit.

That other 20% that inhabits the other 98% of the land in this country, yeah not feasible for mass transit outside of the bigger cities.
