Let's be realistic here and accept the fact that anything that involves more than 1km of walking one way won't happen for 99% of people.
That's why we have bikes, for distances from 1km to 10-12km (one way).
And only after that should we have cars. Cars should also be reserved for very heavy loads (more than 50kg), groups of people (not single drivers, 2+ people in the car), and various other niche uses.

I don't want to spend 6 hours commuting a daily in the UK. I've done this btw in the UK a decade ago. It was miserable.
It just isn't possible to commute in places without a car. Especially once you get outside of a main transit hubs.
