People that live far away from the train station?? How is that hard to understand?

I know this is fuck cars but that person shouldn’t be called a lunatic if they’re already using the train as part of their commute.

It’s actually a pretty good middle ground as you still avoid one car in a population center and that person still probably has a decent commute

That's why there are parking lots next to rural train stations, at least here in Germany.

But it doesn't make sense to put lots of parking spaces next to a train station right inside a city because there are so many better usages of that space in a city center.

Where I live, I could theoretically ride my bike to a bus stop to ride into downtown for work. However there is no bike path, or side walk and the speed limit is 55 with no shoulder. The road also gets a few hundred cars an hour. I've seen people ride bikes around my area, but never down my road, I'm very confident I'll die. So I drive 10 minutes to a bus to ride for 45 minutes instead of drive 35 minutes alone in my car.
