said major station is also for buses and is near a major road
as are all train stations

A major road is okay, but doesn't mean anything when getting to that town requires backroads.
The fact is, just cause it has a train doesn't mean it's easy to get to.
Doom's House is a good look at this.
Buses and Trains run near new milford from NYC or a transfer to a lighter rail from the Meadowlands (not sure doom, please correct me on this), however by CAR it's annoying to get to.
V-17 is a good example of "ease of access" without the use of a train. It's right on route 17, which has junctions of 4/80 which has closer junctions of i-95/46 which has ANOTHER junction of 1-9. all junctions being within a 5-10 min drive. V-17 also has a bus from New York that runs near it, it seems lacking in that department as it's a bit of a walk but doable.
When going somewhere you have to consider all 3 modes of transit and how to get there.
If doom, by train wants to get to....Smurf's house in west orange...
He has to
1. Get to a train station
2. take west milford train to Meadowlands/NYC (again, not sure which one hits it)
3. take a train from there to newark
4. take a train from there to west orange
both of which are on "major roads" and "have train stations/public transit" but is still a ***** to get to.
please come back to me when you have relied on all 3 modes of transit for most of your life.

Prime example of a venue I want to use, also the first stop of a bus line coming from New York Port Authority (walking distance from New York Penn Station), and at the crossroads of 2 of the nations most traveled highways, i-80(Cali -> NJ) and i-95 (FL -> Maine).
oh yeah, and parking.
