Building giant parking garages ("commuting park and ride") is a failed concept and does not work. No one wants to live around a giant parking area and no one will walk through it to get to the train because there's no housing density nearby. Better to build high density housing around the station with little parking.

A thousand residences takes a lot more space than parking for a thousand cars.

In my area, the lot is full, but the buses are fairly empty, as there is not enough parking to support the bus station.

I agree about zoning for density. That’s not the problem in this case.

There’s nothing wrong with individually owned vehicles in rural areas. Work with that, instead of fighting it.
