Lol it's 9 miles. The anti-car motte is "just put a little bit more funding into buses and it'll be great", but the indefensible subtext is that we also need to abandon our homes, our present communities, and get relocated into high density urban zones.
I've been there, done that. I used to commute from Philly to Radnor on SEPTA's regional rail. I like trains but the amount of time I burned every day on the train, let alone walking back and forth to the stations, was simply a waste of my life. Reading on the train is great and all but I'd rather have that free time at home.
- vertis 3y agoIf you're outside a city and hopping on a freeway, you're obviously not going to be able to walk that. I would never recommend more buses - buses suck. Trains and trams though, are great. I'll also take European and Australian communities over the parking lots that are American communities any day of the week. I'll also take the high-speed rail between London and Paris (and a host of other EU/UK examples) rather than driving. Europe is absolutely an example of how you don't have to have a terrible experience if you have good public transport. London by train is ~2.5 hours, and by car it's 5-6 hours at a minimum.
