I live in a city with public transit (buses mostly), however, it is mostly abysmal. At one point, I would pass a broken down bus every other day. Some people manage with it but it is slow and round about, the only exception is a free trolley(bus) downtown that loops the busy areas. On the private side, the traffic here is awful and I nearly get hit regularly, so, if we had a half decent public transit system I would prefer it.
What is your favorite place that you have lived/ or somewhere you have been and wish to live? What makes it so great for you?
