Aotearoa / New Zealand

I'd say it's very similar in Poland. A lot of small cities and villages, barely connected by roads and with little to no rails. Public transport is good but only in big cities. In those smaller ones, you're lucky if there's more than on bus per line per hour.
This is my firsthand experience, as I'm from one of those. 15 years ago there was a bus every 15-20 minutes. Nowadays there's one per hour, sometimes less.
