Gregory's Server@breadandcircuses I love the Madrid metro. The rides are stupid cheap and you get a train every few minutes. This is the gold standard for public transport for me, everyone else needs to catch up.
So, clearly not too much to ask, as it alredy exists in a place that is not much different from the rest of the developed world.
@mzedp @breadandcircuses Comparing transit options in my city, walking puts you on par with the bus system unless you're truly going completely across the city.
The buses are so infrequent and the routes so pointlessly basic that anywhere the bus can get you in less than 90 minutes is walkable in the same time.
