"15 minute drive" at rush hour. My man could walk.
This entire comment could be summarized by "butbutbut people who live in areas with shitty public transport have to drive"
We already know this. The point is to make it better, because good public transport is better for literally everyone. I live on the edge of town, and I'm 5 minutes from 7 bus stops for 5 different bus lines, and a train station. Most of those buses come every 10-15 minutes, and are up to 5 minutes late at rush hour. It is by far a better experience to take the bus than to drive for me.
I'm imagining more of a 15 minute drive down the interstate at 70mph. I am not going to walk or bike 15 miles to and from work, particularly in the rain/snow/heat.
Which would be about 5 minutes on a high-speed train.
Buses are great intracity.
Trains are great intercity.
