Sorry, but what a nightmare of an opening sentence! What is "the trip"? What is "it" in "it's near"?
- jamilton 3y ago"It" is the transfer.
- bedobi 3y agoYou're not alone, others have already pointed out how confusing it is and I'm confused by it too. I think what they're trying to say is, if a commute by transit involves a transfer, people prefer and are more likely to make the trip by transit if the transfer happens closer to home vs closer to the destination.
