I'm from Texas and I honestly thought public transportation couldn't get worse. I was wrong.

Public transit in the NYC metro area is the best in the country, even with all its many flaws and problems. Texas is a black hole of mass transit - that shit is communist to those wackadoos down there.

Austin's got a better transportation system than NJ. That's all im saying. Their app always worked their bussed were on time. I didn't need to take two or three to get across town. They were cheaper too. NYC metro was a very nice experience the one time I used it.

Right you're comparing Austin to smaller towns in New Jersey. New Jersey mass transit is designed to get you to New York for the most part with some towns having some mass transit that works within the towns and nearby towns. As far as cities go New York City and the immediate cities near it in New Jersey have far better mass transit than anywhere in Texas.

You can't compare a city to interstate travel between much smaller towns.

Overall the New York City metro area is far superior to any mass transit in Texas overall. There is just no debate there.

And we have a lot of work to do in New Jersey still
