Much of US is too spread out for public transit
There are large cities in Brazil that could be considered as spread out as American ones. Well, considering the American experience with school buses, maybe it wouldn't be too hard to develop public transit back there, even if it ends up resembling more the "alternative" systems with vans that are usual in slums instead of the BRT system from Curitiba.
