Because my government spent all the money on War and Nuclear weapons stockpiling , instead of Public transportation
and I refuse to spend what little I have left on running a Car, just to go down to the Tavern , 1.5Miles away,
have a pint and a few laughs with friends , then get arrested on the way home.
and when I do visit countrys with passenger trains I get to see the places between stations at 7 MPH.
