        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 or on Sundays.

              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
