There are so many factors. I agree a 10 minutes walk might be considered far. Me though, for example, according to Google Maps I'm 20 mins from the 3 different stations (so not sure which one is closest) but I live just off a major street with 12 bus lines and I only live 2 mins from the bus stop. There's a bus every ~2 min so I can get to the station they're all going to usually in 6-8 minutes total travel time (though I haven't ridden train or taken the bus since March). Many stations also have bike parking garages and you can get a monthly space so your 10-20 minute walk could be a 5-10 minute bike ride.
