There’s only about 800 cities to connect in all of Japan.
There’s about 19,000 in the US.
You prove my point. Japan is small and easy to get everywhere by rail. The US is not.

Yeah, area wise Japan is about 60% the size of Texas. With Japan having more than twice the GDP. Seems pretty straight forward why infrastructure should be better there. Japan has 4x the populous as well. Makes a lot more motivation to focus on public transport.
