City with a metropolitan area of 600k:

Yesterday I went to IKEA (i.e. suburb-to-suburb). Google Maps said:

  • Car: 20 min
  • Public Transit: 1h20min
  • Bicycle: 1h

So.... Technically it is possible. However no-one does this unless they are forced to by their circumstances. We've begun building one tram line and the construction process has gone so catastrophically the entire country knows about it. At this rate the urban transition away from the car will be done by 2250.
