No, my gripe is any major city that doesn't have clean, frequent, on time mass transit, but does have tremendous sprawl. LA is the best example and the Bay Area to LA high speed rail is the one solution trotted out by politicians here in California.
Going somewhere like Switzerland really highlights how much the US is currently lacking in the mass transit department. If we ran things in a similar fashion, I would be able to get some sort of mass transit from here in Monterey to the Bay area without having to do rocket science level math to figure out all the connections, times and different modes of transport it would take to get there. I'd just hop on a train here that showed up at the same time every day and said "San Francisco" as the end stop. As it is now, if you were to take some big fancy long distance train to San Francisco, you would need a car to get to Monterey. If I were to take a long distance train to LA, I would have a much harder time moving around the city and its surrounding area compared to a similar setup with a car.
Places that have good public transportation don't have that issue.
