If you lived somewhere with easy accessed with awesome scheduled public transportation, would you use it?

    Yes! If Jax had one, I wouldn't live way out where I live currently.

    Yes! Like PP I would love to live somewhere like Boston. The "T" there is great.

    Totally. I hate driving. Public transportation in Jax sucks though.

    Sure! I had some friends that lived in Boston 15 years ago and we used the T all the time. It's so simple. Yes, you have to deal with the occasional weird person factor, but that keeps things interesting. I wouldn't be as willing to deal with buses though, and I'm not sure why.

    Apparently Seattle has an awesome bus system and it's free. DH's sister and grandparents were telling us about it the other day. They used to live there.

    I would absolutely use public transportation.

    I absolutely would!  Tallahassee's bus system pretty much sucks.  They just "redid" the whole bus schedule/placement of stops etc. to make it more people friendly and encourage more use of the bus system.  Unfortunately, it appears that it isn't working out as they had hoped based on all the upset letters to the local paper about buses being delayed, missing connecting buses and a drastic increase in time to get from one place to another. 

    One guy wrote into the paper yesterday telling of his experience of using the bus.  I commute that would have taken him 15 mintues by car took him 2 hours by bus.

    Absolutely!  One of my biggest gripes about Jacksonville is the lack of public transportation.  I hate that after a night of drinking, a cab home from anywhere in this city will run you $50, give or take.  Just ridiculous.

    I definitely would.  We used the bus system when we went to Austin for ACL in 2006 and we also used the buses in Steamboat Springs, CO. 

    And at Disney World :)

    Yes, I would use it, but probably only for going out drinking nights.

    I would too. I'm starting to make a list of places to move once I graduate and public transportation is a must.

    I would definitely use it, but I don't think I could ever be one of those people that live in a city and don't even own a car. Maybe I'd change my mind since parking spaces in places like NYC & Boston are insanely expensive and a car isn't really necessary, but I still like the idea of knowing I have one if I want to use it.
