When you live in the Adelaide suburbs and when all public transport goes via the city first, nobody is going to spend 1½-2hr in public transport for a 30min drive. Especially not for the cost, being that it’ll be similar to public transport costs too

Similar issue in Melbourne too, we’re still dealing with the outdated hub and spoke public transport map - but at least they’re working on that with the Suburban Railway Loop project.
My commute to work is 35 minutes without traffic, but normally blows out to 60-75 minutes in peak hour.
My only options for PT are 80-90 minutes and involve either two trains, a train and a bus, or a train and a tram… and that’s including the ~30 minutes of walking each way to and from the train station each way!

i used an escooter in Qld for the walk bit when i lived there but 50c PT fares as well
But yeah we wanted walkable city city living and made a deliberate choice on where to live based on that; 5 min bus to tram or 10min escoot to the train and walk to shooping centre across road.
