@anianimalsmoe oh yes, this is also another very important bit which again applies for this very particular scenario I have in mind (for the longest time, to not make me consider otherwise), but unlikely to be applicable in most other scenarios haha.
All in all, the root issue is still how bad the last mile connectivity is here for people who rely on public transportation. In the end, you're almost always forced to get an e-hailing service (i.e. Grab, Uber) to get to your destination from the nearest train station - which is ofc, expensive, which incentivises you to just drive yourself, which then just causes heavy traffic.
Such a pain in the ass. Being in a country that does not expect you to own a car and drive is truly a privilege.
