By having amenities closer and by having more efficient (and just more) public transport. Safer streets would be nice too.

I live 15 minutes away from my work by car… or 1.2-2 hour commute by bus. And I live in a city with a lot of transit options! Not that I’d ever ride the bus to work anyways, because I work in a rough area of town and often get out of work late; as a woman, it just isn’t safe.

Another thing to consider, though, is I live in a place with lots of state parks and amazing hiking trails… that you just can’t access without a car. So I would never want to get rid of my car entirely.

You missed that part somehow.

If I could walk to the stop and wait at it safely, then I would take public transport.
