I was talking to a friend and complaining that the nearest grocery store is 3km from me, he says that Europeans consider that a reasonable distance to the store and I'm just being lazy.

I don't have a car, I don't have a bike, and the bus only comes by every four hours. Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to carry groceries 3km in 30C weather, or is my friend full of shit? Neither of us have been to Europe.

Sorry, I was too slow on the edit I guess.

There are special areas for strollers, bikes and other bulky stuff.

Is the tram not full?

Only during peak times. But even then, the frequency is 3.5 minutes, so skipping one or even two is an option.

    Dang, that must be nice. The bus only comes by once every 4 hours for me, and it's always standing-room only.

    On the other hand, nothing wakes you up like standing on a bus going 80km/h on a bumpy road.
