rural areas

That's the difference though - they're planning for cities (and they're a private company). German cities mostly have decent to very good public transport. I lived in a very rural area (a handful of buses every weekday) for the first 20 years of my life and then moved to the city at least 100 years ago. I'm still in awe of the transport system here (as shitty as it sometimes is).

a handful of busses on the weekdays sounds like a major city for my American mind. Rural taxi busses are where the taxi service is actually multi person vans that pick you up and drop you off and make stops for others on the way.
