• Smaller towns tend to have public transit, but it would be something like “hourly buses between 9 and 5 except on Saturdays, Sundays, and bank holidays” with possibly a few kilometers of walking distance to the closest bus stop.

      The more populated your area is, the better your public transit will be, but if you can’t walk to the bus stop you’ll have to rely on external services (that are available but not exactly cheap or easy). This is especially bad in the more remote areas (i.e. old people living on a farm, not willing to sell their house for a much smaller appartement close to the services they need).
