It can work for long commutes when you have park and rides, but you still need cars to go the last 1-5 miles. Still nice to take a train the bulk of a long commute into a city core. A lot of people who think trains and buses can do it all are young and have never had kids. Nothing about the suburbs made sense to me before kids. Everything makes sense after kids.

Yes, park and ride is great at creating a high-density hot-spot, from which an express, or few-stops train is great. (I too prefer that.)

But it implies you have to have a car, and once you have the car then naturally you will use it :)
