[nfb-talk] Top 10 Cities with Best Transportation

[David Andrews]

Well, I live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area -- and while not bad, 
if this is the fifth best in the country, then public transportation 
is worse then I thought.  I think San Francisco is better then here, 
for example, so is Philadelphia, unless they all have fallen off over 
the years.  So is Chicago, by a long shot unless they have cut the 
hell out of the system.  I live in a suburb, a pretty far one 
granted, but I have absolutely no bus service on week end.
