So I dugg up this article this morning and had to say I was surprised:
The 5 Best Mass Transit Systems in the World
I was surprised to see Chicago in the top 5. Really!!?? Ask anybody who's been riding the L for the past couple of years and I'm sure they'd disagree. Between the construction and poor service, it's been a little rough for commuters. But maybe we've gotten spoiled over the years. I'll admit, the train system in Chi-Town has served me well over the years. And now I just realized that I've been living in the city for almost 10 years now. If you'd asked me ten years ago, I'd have though I'd be in the burbs somewhere with a wife and kids and maybe even a dog. But I digress. So are public transportation systems in other cities that bad that we rank in the top 5? I guess we'll have to see what people say if we get the Olympics in 2016. I'll be telecommuting that summer.
