    I have never had a commute longer than 40 min each way. I had a 5 minute commute once, too.

        If your city and region got rid of cars, you could have that, too.

            Traditional pre-car villages were all walkable and all had their own train station. They sprawled out and lost their train stations when cars came around.

                Tradition: 5 min bike to village station, 15 min train to local city, 15 min train to neighboring city, 5 min bike to destination, cost 2€

                Modernity: 1 hour of focused labor in traffic, 5 min walk through parking garage, cost 20€

                  I live in a village with about 1000 residents and I have to say that it’s ok to get everywhere. It just becomes a problem if you want to drive back late or on Sundays because the bus doesn’t come at that time

                  To the nearest train station I need around an hour when I walk. Usually that’s not needed though. After that it’s another hour to the nearest large city
