    I think it’s the other way around. Mass transit greatly benefits from walkable cities because that means distances are shorter which in turn makes the whole system cheaper to build and operate.

      Walkable cities are created by not emphasizing car infrastructure which necessitates good mass transit because people still need to get around which creates a more walkable city, etc. It’s kind of a chicken and egg situation, they’re both the cause and effect of each other in an endless cycle.
