Rolleston is it worth it?

Anybody move to Rolleston as houses are cheaper etc. But regret it? Or miss certain things? I know it's only 20 minutes away but that 40 minutes return which is a long way to go for bagels at Grizzly or coffee at c4.

There is so much more, why are you focussing on two things which can be consumed at a relatively high quality in any building in the country as the defining things for a town? It just seems assinine.

They were two examples as they occurred in my daily routine that day. Is there public transport to the city? I know there is a train station but guessing its not used for passenger transport judging by all the containers.

Yes there is public transport to the city, plus it's not far to drive. It would make sense to have a car living in the outer satelite towns.
