    Personally I love my urban area, walk to my favorite restaurants, bars, parks, without ever needing to spend money on gas. But yes, in suburban areas the basic “hub and spoke” pattern of getting commuters into the city is a necessity. Even in smaller cities in the US we desperately need trains going from park and rides into the city.

    Plus not only commuters, but it’s so nice to go out drinking and no one has to worry about how we’re all going to get home safe.

      Exactly! I would just love there to be options. Generally speaking, you either live in a city and can walk everywhere, or you live elsewhere and have to drive. There are very few in between situations.
