In much of the US you can’t even build places people would need to walk to within walkable distance, due to zoning. A bus which takes 30 minutes to take you to the grocery store is barely any better than no public transportation at all. I haven’t used public transportation even once in the last 15 years. I sometimes check how long it’d take to get to the places I need to be however. Grocery store trip turns from 9 minutes into 36 each way. Going to work takes 25 minutes by car or an hour and a half by bus, each way. Dropping off my kid at his soccer practice? 8 vs about half an hour, each way. Idk where you people live that you think spending 3 hours daily on a bus is feasible or desirable, let alone logistically possible.
