      You can also do this thing called walking. Although I am aware that in the United States that is considered suspicious behavior.

          The public transit isn’t that great where I live by European standards. I use a Brompton folding bike to make up the difference. It’s great for trains

      This is my favorite argument from carfolk, because they’ll treat walking one block from a bus station as some cardinal sin but will happily walk four blocks from a parking spot.

      Cities with transit typically have several different ways of getting around.

      For my last job, som e choices were:

      • express bus plus walk a couple blocks
      • train and walk a mile
      • train to subway and walk a couple blocks
      • drive to subway and walk a couple blocks
      • train to subway to another subway into basement of my building

      I’m not even counting scooter and bike share but I chose each of these options depending g on what was best at the time. But my most common choice was the train and walk a mile. It was a bit of a walk but I didn’t have to deal with people or waiting and it was close enough. But maybe you prefer walking less or like the scooter or bike shares: great, make the choice that’s best for you

      It’s common to bus to the train station, and yes train stations downtown are where many people work.
