    Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin all have inadequate public transportation. And together they account for 5 of the 10 biggest cities in the US by population.

      And one of those is the city I live in. Their combined MSAs account for almost 25 million people that can’t just “take the subway”

        What about bicycles, scooters, the bus? Surely you have at least one of those?

        If you don’t have a subway where you live, then that’s unfortunate, and I agree there is nothing you can do there.

        I was trying to point out that most people with access to the subway still drive a car for some reason, and I meant that these people should use the public transportation that they have.

          Drive a car, there in 15 minutes.

          Take a bus, there in 2 hours. Takes 40 minutes to walk to the fitst bus stop.

          Bus does not run after 9pm.
