> That's not actually how we define "amazing public transportation network".

It's pretty comparatively amazing to me. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania in a town with no buses or taxis. The closest train/bus station was about 50 minutes away by car.

My apartment has a bus stop right outside its door, but I have to travel the entire bus line to get to where I want to go, and that's 15 minutes from work.

There's a train station five minutes from work and two others within ten minutes from work, but none of them go directly to the station closest to my apartment.
