We'll assign trips of 10-200 miles as being regional in nature. For many of us, this describes a commute trip. Note that as we move up the scale, the trips become more constrained, scheduled, and infrequent. I first have to get to the airport, and then flights only leave at certain times, and it's possible I need to plan days or weeks in advance to get a seat on a flight. Other people accommodate regional transportation needs with cars, treating them like local transport.
Most large cities suffer from congestion during rush hour.
Congestion is not as bad in the USA, but any large-city dweller can attest to its impact. The vehicle of choice in the USA is the internal combustion engine automobile. There is growing evidence that the CO2 alone may trigger golbal warming. The USA is growing, and new roads need to be added. Adding new roads becomes increasingly difficult when the new roads must be placed in already populated areas.
