It is no secret that the most populated city in the US also has the fastest and most accessible public transportation system. On the island of Manhattan alone, there are over a
million jobs within a thirty-minute walking distance, so it makes sense that the city has one of the largest subway systems in the world.
DC

San Francisco
Because the city is so compact, city dwellers in San Francisco find it easier to get around by public transportation! San Francisco Municipal Railway, or Muni for short, is the network of bus, streetcar, trolley, and cable car lines within the city. They have a stop in every tourist destination, shopping and residential areas in the city.
Philadelphia
Southeastern Public Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, is the collection of bus routes, trolleys, subways, and trains that transport Philadelphians in, out and around the city. The regional rail lines are the most impressive, with shuttling residents from the suburbs of Philadelphia in and out of the city daily.
Boston
The
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or the T for short, is comprised of subway, bus, commuter rail and boat lines to get in around the city with ease.
Denver
The RTD in Denver offers a unique option for people with a car in the city. To complement the bus, rail, and Skyrail services,Park-n-Rides have free to low cost parking lots around public transportation options so you can get door-to-door service.
