The Japanese rail transport system is one of the things I miss most when I return from Japan to the States. Drives me nuts that the US has not invested in mass transit like that. It'd eliminate a lot of cars (and pollution) from the road. I'd use it in a heartbeat if it was available.
But Americans like their "individuality" .... so mass tansit concepts likely are "culturally" doomed to a likely fail here.
