Sounds good in theory, but there are limits to transit. You need a fairly high population density, and shared destinations.
I have never worked in an office where the bus schedule allowed taking it - if I got the first by in and the last bus out I would have worked 7:45 - not a full 8 hour day before you consider a long lunch which is nice at times. Other offices the nearest bus stop was 3 miles away (along a route that was not walker friendly)
Sure if you live in an apartment and work downtown public transit works great. However engineering companies tend to not be downtown because rent is so high.
