Trains connecting town centers obviously can’t solve everyone’s transportation needs, but they can help to enable a car-free or reduced-car lifestyle for those who want that and are willing to design their lives around it. Even if that’s only, say, 10% of the population in less dense areas, it could still make a significant impact on traffic and emissions as well giving an economic boost to downtown areas, since there’s now a reason for people to live near them.
