What we do have at a walking/biking distance is a bakery, a pharmacy, a coffee shop, an antique store, two art galleries.

Anything else such as food, school, work, train station, doctor, veterinary, you name it, is 15k away.

It sounds like your town needs a tram station

Not really, trams are only good if you need more capacity than a bus can provide on a fixed line which is not the case. What we need is exactly the opposite, a small capacity and a flexible route.

The thing that has the most chance to work in the near future, from a practicality and cost point of view is, imho, a fleet of on demand self driving electric minibus that can serve all the township around.

Note, we already have on-demand minibus, it's basically a bus with fixed stop in all the local towns that only come if requested and available, It's just not very available due to a shortage of drivers.
