Maybe because 99% of Americans actually use highways.

Perhaps. But as the population increases and we’re not building a corresponding amount of highways or airports then how are these people supposed to get around?

Some years back when Los Angeles proposed their Metro Rail it got the same kind of opposition as I see here but when I have to go to Los Angeles now I fly into Burbank, walk over to the Metro Rail and 20 minutes later I’m at Union Station. The same trip with a rental car is nearly an hour during the day. The trains in LA any more are packed. And those are people who are not on the road so that frees up highway capacity for people like you.
