As cities grow day by day, we've come to realize that the ever-rising car traffic is bad news for us and the planet. This makes trains, buses, subways, and trams extremely important. So, which cities offer the best public transit systems in the world? Well, Time Out polled 20,000 people in 50 cities to find out how they feel about their local mass transit systems. While only residents were surveyed, it gives tourists a good perspective on where to go next and how best to get around.
With years of underfunding becoming increasingly apparent, there's much criticism to level at New York's public transit system. However, there’s still no better way to get around NYC.
NYC's subway is the largest in the world if you count by number of stations, and the extensive bus system makes traveling even easier away from the tracks. Over all, 83% of New Yorkers said it was easy to get around the city by public transit.
The London Underground first opened as an underground railway in 1863, and its first electrified underground line opened in 1890, making it the world's oldest metro system.
Aesthetically iconic, London's buses, trains, and underground are easy to use and super efficient. Unsurprisingly, 91% of Londoners said it was easy to get around by public transport.
The city’s network of trains, trams, ferries, and buses does a great job, so it's no surprise that 91% of locals praised the city's public transport system.
Second only to New York by number of stations, Shanghai's metro is the largest in the world when it comes to the distance it covers. In fact, the subway system in Shanghai was actually modeled from the NYC system.
Alongside the trains, Shanghai's buses, maglevs, taxis, and ferries can be paid for using the contactless Shanghai Public Transportation Card. The city's residents are certainly satisfied, as 91% said it was easy to cross the city using public transport.
It's no surprise that public transport in Singapore is efficient, clean, and modern. On top of that, all buses are wheelchair-accessible, and strollers are allowed.
