>going into a city can take a fair bit of time if you have to use multiple modes of transportation. So the answers are pretty suck it up, move closer, or don't go into the city much. Well, yeah? Those answers are your alternatives if you choose to live far from the city, and I would think they should be obvious. You can't change the laws of physics. Or economics: I mean, you could build a bullet train between your rural town and whatever exact destination in the city you want, but obviously that's economically infeasible.
