Buses do, and that's largely the best way to connect to trains in an integrated system. And again, I want to access stuff off the network.

Bus distances are usually either walkable or bikeable--at least, if buses are a support network for trains. If they're the core, not so much

Dude not every urban area is built for trains. I know this is your point on some level but they also *will not be.* Nor should they be.

Yes they should be; if your core transit is buses then there are at least one or two lines in it that are at capacity and should upgrade

The core transit is cars, nationwide, because Americans like being able to go where they want, when they want.

Until trains can offer the same kind of point-to-point on-demand experience that my car can, you're not going to see much change.

They do so when walking is doing the heavy lifting: when you can walk to most places you want, everything else falls into place.

As for most of the country, I'm not interested in changing it--I just want New England to get better.
