Hows the rural transportation in your country/region? You have good bus routes and trains? How about cycling?

car-centric hellscape rivalling that of a city

cozy small towns, not on the main highway through, have signs at pedestrian crossings specifying walkers/cyclists have to give way to cars.

A good mixture of paved and dirt roads. Cycling is pretty nice.

Cobblestone and potholes in towns and villages everywhere. Buses are useless. Train is fine if it stops in your town. Decent number of marked bike routes along quiet tertiary roads or newly asphalted agricultural trails. Could be better, could be worse.

Bike lanes in the town and good bus connection. Trains could be better though.

If we're talking actually rural, typically somewhere between 404 and one bus every two hours (going only to the next little town from where you have a similar connection to somewhere that's still badly connected).
Some areas not too far from me have no public transportation at all in a 10km radius. None. It's very hilly land as well, so biking would be a bitch. It's not a good place for people unwilling to use cars.

Old region was walkable/bikable. It wasn’t designed that way but you could just walk or bike on the roads. Far distances but it’s far for a car too.

New region is actually impossible to do anything but drive. The grocery store I use is 100 yards away from the house and I actually cannot walk there if I wanted to.

Public Transportation here is nonexistent except for the main town in the region that has the bare minimum of a bus service. It's shit though because you have to drive anyways to use the bus stops and because of that they're always empty except for the few homeless folks that just get on for the free A/C and WiFi so they don't die from the heat. Sidewalks straight up don't exist except in new parts of the city so you're walking on grass, dirt, or the road itself. Cycling to get from place to place is a joke and is just asking to get flattened by Juan in his dropped truck, but there is a big community of cyclists that ride around in the afternoons in this massive newly developed suburb near me every other day at 7PM. There's also zero passenger trains here and I have to drive a few hours to San Antonio to use the Amtrak and even that doesn't operate daily there. At least living here is cheap as shit and you can live like a king if you make over $50k a year.

I live in the Netherlands and even here rural transit is shit. Which goes to show you because
1. you can't get very rural here
2. urban transit is pretty good here compared to *certain countries*
we get like 4-6 busses per hour (all directions combined). if you don't own a car, honestly you are better off cycling to the nearest train station/your destination. This is how all minors get to school.
public transportation is doomed for rural places.

I visited Ireland a month ago and was amazed with the rural bus transportation network but I didn’t go very rural unless you count roscrea and portlaoise.
What town should I, a unskilled worker, move into in Ireland?

Don't move to Ireland, it's a shithole and you'll be taxed to oblivion if you make any real money.

>implying im not already taxed to oblivion
i already pay 23% vat and and get a 1000 after taxes on my 1800 gross a month.
so if you want to give me a reason not to move, that wont be the one
plus all flat land and cool weather means bike friendly as opposed to my hilly terrain and 90f or +30c for nine months out of the year where i burn just being outside for 20 mins

6 buses per hour is a bus every ten minutes that’s better than some cities have. I don’t understand what you’re complaining about are the buses actually just vans? Are they crowded? Help me understand what’s going on that makes this not viable

It's either cycling or car. The most we get from public transport is 2 buses per day, one to and the other from the same destination

Those busses include every direction. The bus you need only goes once per hour.

1 bus per hour in the direction you want is still a hell of a lot better than pretty much all rural places.
