I really hate that shit. To suburbs? Sure, that's acceptable cox public transportation prioritizes high density areas.

To city to another city and public transportation takes double of driving? That's bad design. Infrastructure that prioritizes cars no matter the population density is not sustainable, whether that's shown as car traffic or massive deficit to keep roads maintained

Yes but that is never going to happen without putting restraints on the auto industry, which puts big money into preventing public transit from being built, and if its already exists, to destroy it.

Car culture is killing us. I get you're trying to be pragmatic but more is necessary.

No, it's not good public transportation. Good public transportation is faster and cheaper than a car. That's terrible public transportation, just because other places are even worse it doesn't mean that one is good.

Bikes combined with public transit usually cut down those times massively. And to ask---good, or good by usa standards? Cities in Germany or japan are impressive with how fast you can get places by train.

Also-- people being unwilling to trade a bit of convenience in exchange for a better world is a major part of the problem. I got off my car and started biking for everything, and it was easy. More people could easily do the same. Combined with trains, I can go very far.

If its 15 mins by car it's likely a gentle 30 mins ride. A small vespa or motorbike has to be better than a car for that sort of distance - we need to avoid thinking car is the only private transport solution
