Looking for a Book on US Transit Systems and Cars?

[mattmns]

I am looking for a book/s (yes I know this is the wrong section, but it will probably get more replies here ). I want a book/s that is a big overview of all the transit systems (US and Europe in particular) But I also want a huge emphasis on cars in the US. I do not want a book that was written by GM, or Chevron, if you catch my drift . So mainly a book that argues about all of the problems with the US transit systems (with a big emphasis on cars: cost, roads, gas(oil), environment). And also to have a brief overview of transit systems and cars in other countries. Do such books exist? Do any of you have a recommendation/s? Thanks
