That's great when all those people live in the same block and go to work at the same company and have the same hours.

But Frank lives 10 miles away and works on the other side of town. And Tim lives 3 towns over and works the night shift. Bill lives in the country and works 40 miles away. Eddy lost a leg in the war and while he is only 1/2 mile from the bus station, can't walk that far with his disability.

When it is convenient, it is convenient, but there's a reason why when given the choice, most normal people will drive their car instead no matter what the nonsense in this subs likes to pretend is real.

Maybe your public transport infrastructure needs improvement? I don't think this post wants to judge you— it's advocating for public transport to be paid more attention. My cousin lives 3 towns away from her workplace— she commutes with a bus or jeepney. We have either buses, vans, or jeepneys; combined they operate 24/7. Hell, my university has students more than 5 municipalities away, the buses start operations early in the morning. Our classes start at 6:30 AM. Oh and btw, our buses have routes more than 300km. Maybe even more. Regarding Eddy, we have something in my country called a motorela or a tricycle, that operates locally in neighbourhoods. He won't have to walk far, he just has to wait for one and let it deliver him to a waiting area.
