Utter bullshit.
It’s not about driving from a to be.
Have you ever brought your old and ill grandparent to a doctors appointment 20kms away when he can’t hold it anymore - via train/bus?
Have you ever took your grandma to the grocery shop via train/bus? Have you ever get home as fast as possible because of a accident at home? Have you ever done anything outside of a big city?!
Even cities below a population of 100k have their own hospital and dozens of doctor’s offices all within a ten minute walking distance from each other.
A population under 10k is closer to a village than a city. There are towns with a population of 5k that do indeed have their own clinics and even their own train stations as long as they are not located on the side or the top of a mountain, though it is extremely rare for a mountaintop settlement to have a population greater than 3k.
It is honestly baffling to see that people can not fathom that urban sprawl can take shape without suburbanization. You can have houses concentrated into small splotches of land and those are chained together by a singular road and railway. Everything around that is just farmland. That’s just how villages look like in Europe.

You don’t even ever lived in a city with less than 10k population. No doc, no hospital. No train. Just bullshit talks from privileged people.
