New York: The only city where 51% of people do not own a car an 49% prefer the car. Best of both worlds.
Los Angeles: Have fun on the 405!

I remember being on a subway train when I was little back in California.

LA has a subway? I never knew that! Is it earthquake proof?

@Rodriguez9181 you think Paris has the best metro system? Are you kidding me? Have you been to any Asian countries? Japan, Korea and China all have far superior (and cleaner) metro systems than western countries.

@veeseee128 no!

I think Paris' Metro system is the best. I was surprised that many bussiness people went to work on the metro. Here in Los Angeles, the only people that take the Metro are immigrants, blacks,tourist, and students. Mexico City has a great Metro system!

Does the Sub way run all over LA?
Unlike most other large cities, Los Angeles is sprawled out over a large area. Up until the end of WWII Los Angeles had a robust trolley and streetcar system but the proliferation of ever farther suburbs and the embrace of the car culture and an extensive freeway system relegated public transit to a 2nd class bus system.

it's a catch 22. a lot of people here would love to take mass transit if it was the most efficient way to get from point a to point b. frankly it's not. many people won't give up their car because it's extremely efficient outside of rush hour. lack of demand isn't there because there's no infrastructure. california has serious budget issues. our federal dollars are going to the war. there's a lot of social reasons too. more people would take mass transit if it was more efficient. we're broke
