[nabs-l] A blind Fulbright grantee's question

Adriana,

 

As you might imagine, that is a difficult question to answer. Without being
able to speak to somebody who has lived in all five cities for long enough
to become well-acquainted with their transit systems, all you can really get
are relatively uninformed and/or biased opinions. If I had to take a stab at
it, I would say that you would likely find the most transportation options
in Philadelphia, as it is the largest city of those you mentioned. You would
probably be best off spending some time online looking at the various
options in each area. You may also want to look at your particular living
situation and location. A walkable location with a lot of shops,
restaurants, and other facilities around can mitigate the damage of a subpar
transit system. Really the best answer is to determine what is important to
you (subway, buses, walkability, plentiful taxis, paratransit?) and do some
research.

 

Congrats on the Fulbright though. That's a great award!

 

Take care,

 

Sean
