  1.  @SaveMoneySavethePlanet  I call it the 10 minute law. If you reach your destination in 10 minutes, it's not far. If by car, bike or foot is what planning and design decide. And since the station is destination it can indeed feel "near" even if you end up traveling 30 minutes in total (albeit that is too much for normal shopping, but for a doctor's visit - works)

  2. Yes, public transit stops should not be more than 500m away from the next. That way you get (theoretically) everyone within 350m of a stop, or a 5 minute walk.

  3. Park and Ride is great - if you do it for bikes. It increases the easy distance from half a mile to two. Thanks to the pi*r² that is a LOT of additional pickup area (Which can also be served by buses for those who don't ride bikes for whatever reason.) Put the train station in the center together with services like town hall and doctors and have the bike lanes go like light from a star. Spread a few groery stores around. Have a 10 minute bus service and train access and you can have 30-50K people in this area with about 20% need for cars compared to the standard US city.
