    I live in a small city outside of Boston. We all know Boston has decent (for the US) transit, but consider my town …

    • we have two commuter rail stations for people commuting into Boston

    • train station in the center of town also

      • bus hub
      • taxi hub
      • bike trail
      • higher density housing
      • “Main Street” with many shops and restaurants, all walkable
      • most local government functions

    So I am living in a single family home in a small city, but there’s a bus on the corner that will take me to the town center (or I could walk) where there are many destinations, many connections. A significant number of people already live there where everything is. Unfortunately I still use my car too often, but yes I think my town does transit well even though it is not a major city
