This is my favorite argument from carfolk, because they’ll treat walking one block from a bus station as some cardinal sin but will happily walk four blocks from a parking spot.

Cities with transit typically have several different ways of getting around.
For my last job, done choices were:
- express bus plus walk a couple blocks
- train and walk a mile
- train to subway and walk a couple blocks
- drive to subway and walk a couple blocks
I’m not even counting scooter and bike share but I chose each of these options depending g on what was best at the time. But my most common choice was the train and walk a mile. It was a bit of a walk but I didn’t have to deal with people or waiting and it was close enough.

It’s common to bus to the train station, and yes train stations downtown are where many people work.

You can also do this thing called walking. I didn’t know that in the United States that is considered suspicious behavior.

Im from europe, train stations here are a little more than walking distance apart.

The public transit isn’t that great where I live by European standards. I use a Brompton folding bike to make up the difference. It’s great for trains
