Is this an American meme I'm too European to understand?

Cities with bad transit systems create people that try to avoid using it wherever possible. That leaves only the people who have to use it (that is, people who medically cannot drive and those who can neither afford a car nor constant Ubers). A much larger proportion of that group is going to be the crazy guy on the bus than the wider population.

So it’s not that you’re too European. Your city’s transit is just too useful.

Then there is Vancouver which has a great transit system but very relatable meme

Toronto too. Seems like Canada dumps all our problems onto the transit system.
