OK, that explains it, due to high degree of public transportation in all but USA, it only leaves UK and its traditional busses as something weird?? Ilmarinen I have always thought that the issue of public transportation was mainly a result of - regular apartheid, segration and slums, avoiding interconnecting busses or trains, stops just outside. - the great idea of the car industry of USA in the 50s, kill public transportation and sell more private cars - cheap private gas (all still important for both for regular investors and foreign affairs, Enrons and railways, not to forget steel structures and asbestos) Another suggestion might be how sexy it is on early spring mornings with all those women in all those public things, maybe one reason I felt so at home in Japan. (as well as the tradition of sleeping publicly for the correct amount of minutes, until time to get off) All of this based on my personal question many years ago, why are slums in the inner cities in USA and in some other places of the world, while the opposite in yorupe (OK, then I found out about rural US slums) 2-party systems seem to be at the base,too??
