Reply #18: It's hardly "snobbery" when the nearest lightrail station. . . [View All]

is over 15 miles away and travels in the opposite direction from everything I need to get to in my normal day.

The last job I worked for someone other than myself, I checked the bus schedules and found it would take me almost three hours to make the 30 mile trip to the office, and even at that -- because the buses didn't start running until 5 am -- I'd arrive 1 hour or more after my shift started. If they would change my schedule to match the bus routes (yeah, they were going to do this), my 14 hour day would end just a short time before the busses stopped running. If I had to work overtime, I'd have to walk.

As I said in my original post, unless you live in a fortuitous spot, it just doesn't work.
