Why take the bus when you can drive to the station?
It is normal for suburbs to have feeder bus service to regional rail stations. The map below shows a neighbourhood that has more than one bus route to a commuter rail station. And the station in that map is located about one hour out of the city, and right on the edge of farmland.
Further, bus routes like the one in the map help teens access local college and uni campus', malls, etc.
