Good idea, but I'd definitely do a lot of reading before going that route. In some cities with a seemingly functional public transit...well, it's not one you'd want to use. NoVa/DC and SF are both good examples though of generally safe, effective public transport.(not speaking of Portland or NY as I haven't used theirs)
