Why can't you just bike in a village?

It's not about biking in a village. It's about biking out of a village to a denser urban center. The place where the trains are.

You're quite closed minded.

I think it's closed minded to assume that trains and bikes can replace all utility of cars, or that cars will never be in a state where the impact on the environment is negligible.

there's buses

That's just a big fucking car.

If the infrastructure exists for cars, it can exist for trains.

1 bus > 25 cars. Or how many ever it seats.

Btw, I'm pretty sure places that are that remote rely on planes. Some parts of alaska are like that if I'm remembering correctly.
