And if you want to compare that to the North American standard: I lived in a small town in Canada. Grocery store was 2km away - walk or drive or bike, they were all fine (though no infrastructure existed for the pedestrian or cyclist). But public transport was non-existent. A single intercity bus line had a stop ~25km away, and it came once per day.

In the UK about 9 million (roughly 1 in 15) people live in the countryside. My nearest supermarket is 7 miles away. There is no public transport to speak of. The nearest railway station is 6 miles away.
