Where did I make the claim that you need to sell your car and go bus-only? You can drive your car to the bus that drives to your work. The reverse trip (work -> bus -> car -> home) works out the same way. This model gets you with only one transfer, and your car only partially drives to work, cutting down on your gasoline usage significantly. Its pretty much how a lot of people I know use the rail / subway stations too. Especially because parking outside the city is far cheaper (usually free) than parking inside the city, so you end up saving significantly on parking prices (even if you spend part of that on subway tickets). --------- Bonus points: a lot of these "transit hubs" (where many bus-lines meet) are in locations with ample parking and many different bus lines. This makes it feasible to carpool to a transit hub, instead of carpooling to work (my neighbors don't go to my job, but there is a chance that my neighbors will benefit from a carpool to the same transit hub)
