I’m at an industry get together right now at an event space that is all concrete walls and has music. Taking a break coz I’m tired of shouting

Dunno about areas surrounding Copenhagen but 20-30k is really rather too small for transit systems. They would definitely be better served by cars and buses+cycles.

During office rush hour, it would be nice if you could cycle to a bus stop on highway, park it there and get bus to downtown.

Yeah, cars are the way to go for rural transport. Doubt any bus or tram network can be comparable.

It’s hard for someone who has not been to a walkable city to understand how good it can be. If possible, being a few months in cities Prague or Hong Kong will be an eye opener.
