Only one kid, but in a rural area, and public transport is fine, better even. You don't need to fold up the pushchair to get it on the bus/train. The kid gets a good view out the windows, which he loves. Factor in the time to find a parking space, and door-to-door journey time is similar, even quicker. The one downside is frequency: our trains and buses only run once an hour, and when baby wants to go home, he wants to go home NOW.
