I will say that I've been able to bring 3-4 grocery bags onto a bus, which is enough to last me around 2 weeks. I've done this fairly consistently (basically whenever it's too cold/snowy to bike) for the last couple years. It might not be possible for a family without more than one person making the trip, but for an individual it can definitely work.
I don't mean this the way it's going to sound, but...
I'm happy it works for you, and you're happy with it. It doesn't work for everyone.
I completely understand that, and I know that's why a lot of people need cars. I was primarily responding to the parent comment claiming that it wouldn't work for anyone because it'd be impossible to bring enough groceries with you on the bus/train.
Oh, I see now. Sorry about that. Yes it's possible to use public transport in cases where you don't need much and the time necessary isn't outlandish. I think I was conflating several messages in my head when I responded to yours. Glad to see some people are able to be civil here.
