City Services : Do Cim's travel to them?

[Cropper]

Following on a previous thread I started, I was wondering in general for all city services such as schools and medical clinics, whether you need to place only enough to cover the cities needs at that moment, or whether you need to place the services near every residential area?

In other words, will Cims travel to these services no matter how far away, or do their homes need to be "covered" by the happiness boundary you can see when you are placing the service down (ala Simcity 4)?

I cannot provide a video or screenshot of this, but I can later if you want evidence but...

I have an area of housing right next to heavy industry which causes a lot of sickness. I see a lot of people going to the clinic in the next town over. So yes people do travel to the clinic independently of ambulances. I also see senior citizens going there when they are not sick. I do not know if this is because they are using as a happiness venue, like commercial or parks. I have followed a senior around and he went quite far to go the clinic.
If you want to witness this, you may want to follow a senior around and click on them. It'll tell you where they are going.

People also travel to the schools. I see children getting on buses going to the schools too.

Yeah I've definitely seen a lot of pedestrians walk to and enter schools.

But I'd also like to know just how much traffic there is, ideally/theoretically, between a fixed area of each of the zone types, services and the outside world.
