Do we need to make everything about “money”?
I feel like improving general wellbeing is more important. Having incentives to make people in rural areas live along ‘lines’ would also help, then bus lines are also handier. You can have smaller community buses, too.

Roads are built first, they always have been and always will be because it costs almost nothing to build a dirt road.
Then once there is enough demand on the roads, they’re improved and widened and eventually replaced with higher capacity, more permanent links like trains.
That means that the edge of your transportation network is always going to be based around roads and cars.
