One huge problem with this survey is that if you have always lived in the US (outside of NYC and maybe one or two other metros), your expectations are extremely low - so "satisfied" doesn't mean much. You first have to have experienced a city with great public transport to understand what's possible, and what you're not getting.

- dave5104 13y agoI think this describes me. I'm originally from South Jersey, outside of any big metropolitan area. I'm now living in Palo Alto, and I think Caltrain and VTA are great, but I think that the only reason for that is that I went from no public transit to being able to survive without a car thanks to the train. Sure, it'd be nice if Caltrain didn't stop running at fricking 10:30 on weekends, but it gets me to work in a reasonable amount of time.
- auctiontheory 13y agoSure, it'd be nice if Caltrain didn't stop running at fricking 10:30 on weekends And if it didn't keep running into people or breaking down for hours at a time. Visit NYC or London to experience the awesomeness of a good public transit system.
