What kind of lunatic takes their car to the train station anyway ?
Edit : ok, lunatic is a strong word (my intent was to use hyperbole for the laughs but, text and irony and all that…). Still, as someone who’s lived in two different semi-rural towns with decent train and bus services (and tons of bike racks at the train stations, although most people would use shitty “burner” bikes because of thefts) for a long time, that was a bit surprising to me
That’s why there are parking lots next to rural train stations, at least here in Germany.
But it doesn’t make sense to put lots of parking spaces next to a train station right inside a city because there are so many better usages of that space in a city center.

People that live far away from the train station?? How is that hard to understand?
I know this is fuck cars but that person shouldn’t be called a lunatic if they’re already using the train as part of their commute.
It’s actually a pretty good middle ground as you still avoid one car in a population center and that person still probably has a decent commute
