Earlier quoted context omitted.
Walking to the station isn't even the bad part. The bad part is then walking 3min in tunnels smelling like piss to get to the platform, then waiting 7min more for the train to arrive, then walk 3min more to get out of another piss-filled station. That's 10-15 of absolutely-not-enjoyable subway station.
Agreed. But these are all things that can (and should) be fixed.
How do you fix this for public transport? You transform it into Waymo / Robotaxi.
