> As an example SF Bay Area and Switzerland are about the same size,

These two statements seem hard to reconcile considering that Switzerland’s population is higher.
You're right my memory was bad.
Both the SF Bay Area (not SF, the whole Bay), and Switzerland have ~8 million people.
SF Bay Area is 7K sq miles, Switzerland is ~15k sq miles
The point is still correct. Switzerland has half the density but it has amazing transporation. There's no excuse for SF Bay Area not to as well.
