If I could hop on a train from the country side

Yes please!

This reminded me of that Caojiawan metro station built in the middle of nowhere lol

Spoiler

Please govt start doing what the US railroads did in the past, why is expanding train structure approached with such scepticism outside of asia ๐Ÿ˜ญ public transport should not be viewed as a profit machine IMO

My nearest city has got the right idea by making public transport in general more like a right - I can bike 30min from my village to free (staffed) bike parking, and get around on the city's free shuttle bus.

There's another shuttle (or, BRT as it skips loads of bus stops) free for hospital workers and paid for everyone else, which jumps between various shopping/housing areas, hospitals and main train station. I used to take it a lot as the drivers could freely divert off route to skip traffic, due to not needing to stop at every single bus stop. Sadly it gets very packed at multiple times of day, wish it was a tram or metro sometimes TBH

Caojiawan metro station

That station was just built ahead of other development (which is a sensible thing to do), this is what it looks like now:
