The “last mile” problem you mention isn’t really a transit problem, it’s an urban design problem.
In a properly designed area, anywhere you’d likely want to go would be walkable from a transit stop. This is often non-obvious to people who grew up in car-centric areas, where everything is necessarily spaced exceedingly far apart to make room for parking.
