- closeparen 10y agoTo get to work, you might walk 30 minutes to a train station, wait 10 minutes, and ride a packed train for another 30 minutes. Many (grudgingly) find it acceptable to do this 2x/day for commuting, but aren't keen to do it for a quick grocery run. It's easier for public transit to do an okay job with "trunk" routes from the suburbs to downtown at commute time, than to do a passable job with connecting neighborhoods to their nearest grocery stores at all the times people might want to go shopping.
