Yes, and walking takes about twice as long as riding transit. I know that I am fortunate to live about 3 miles from work. But the moment I started riding transit instead of driving, I found my temper much improved and my wallet fatter by the difference between bus fare and downtown parking rates. We do own a car. Grocery shopping relying on public transportation would be difficult, though I did manage it when much younger.
