Last mile I can walk/cycle. Just get rid of traffic jams and 9 lane highways, and diesel emissions. Trains would actually sort a great deal if the network is

  Not everyone can walk and cycle. I am glad you can.

  > Last mile I can walk/cycle You can, but can everyone else? I see quite a few disabled, seniors and pregnant people on trains. Not to mention people who are exhausted from their day.

    Their point might be, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, perhaps. I was in Seoul, South Korea recently, and their public transit was simply insane. could get anywhere in the city with merely at most a 2 minute walk away from both my current location to the bus/train stop, and the end bus/train stop to my intended destination. For transit to longer areas, there were trains every 30 minutes at least to for example the coast from the center of the country. I saw plenty of disabled and elderly and they all were able to take the buses and trains, and they used a cab for the last mile. In contrast in the US, we don't have the transit at all, unless you live in a city like NYC, we just use cars everywhere.

If improving last mile transit options beyond walking/biking helps to get more people out of cars and onto trains, that's a good thing. We just need to make sure we build enough mass transit to support that use case.
