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
