Or is it that personal transportation is so expensive in those cities that even middle class people (who could afford personal transportation in most cities) are forced to use public transportation. I know that's the case for at least New York. Unsure about the other three.
- mattkrause 7y agoIf I worked in midtown Manhattan, I would jump through flaming hoops to avoid driving, even if I wasn't paying for parking. That traffic crawls, and it's not exactly a relaxing drive.
- toasterlovin 7y agoFair enough (I was remembering parking being insanely expensive in NYC). What I was getting at is that it's not that public transit is necessarily better in the large eastern cities, but that that personal transportation is (comparatively) worse.
