Many State and Local government agencies in the United States provide public transportation. While it’s not the ideal ride, and you really cannot customize it with cool wheels and tires and blast your favorite radio station while you ride, you have to admit that it will get you where you’re going. In fact, in some locations such as New York City, Chicago, and even San Jose, you might be better off riding the bus or subway or rail car.
We’ve compiled a list of public transit agencies and where you can get more information about getting a ride. If there’s something that we’ve missed, feel free to let us know.
