We’ve actually regressed in my little US state (South Dakota). My grandma used to talk about taking the train to some little towns. We also used to have more buses and taxis when I was a kid. My parents used to put us on a bus in the summer so we could work in the fields (which I know doesn’t sound like stellar parenting, and I’m not recommending it, but it really was a different time).
They’re great, I’ve lived in Europe. But they just don’t exist yet most places.

it’s not “yet”, it’s “anymore”.
most of the west used to have rural trains basically everywhere, even northern sweden was full of lines. Then around the 60’s we all got rid of them.
