This is not actually true. I used to know a family who live in Skerries within a kilometre of the train station. Every morning, three cars from that house would be driven to and parked in the train station. This wasn't an isolated case either. I would wager that most cars parked in that station carpark were from houses within one kilometre of the train station.

People are incredibly lazy in this country and (mostly) when they have the option of driving short distances, they will drive the short distance.
