Having grown up in a rural area, here's what I think the solution would look like.

  1. streetcars within towns
  2. Roads dedicated to cars that pass next to towns, and moving the bulk of parking to a ramp just within the town limits
  3. "Frequent" (think once every hour) bus stops from town to town
  4. A train hub for the local area to desirable areas like cities
