there is also a monorail that goes from downtown to the space needle, but i don't know how convient it really is

thanks man, i was thinking about seeing if there are any board members willing to show me around, doubtful though.

In canada, Montreal is great. Metro system, bus, and train take you everywhere.

I'll go ahead and say Omaha is a prime walking city. But then again, I'm not sure where you'd walk to.

Minneapolis is fantastic for biking. I like it less so for public transit, but it's getting better. I prefer year round biking though. Many bike-only roadways and many bike lanes on others, with improvements to this system every year. Plus it's pretty flat.

i've been living without a car for three and a half years here in Los Angeles, and I'd say that the past have been no more worse then the years previous where I drove...

I got the same in Cheyenne, WY. It was like a ghost town. But with pickup trucks.

i can imagine that in Cheyenne you need a vehicle drastically more then you do in LA, the bus must not take you too far

True when I used to ride the metro it was not bad nor good. Just a state of monotony.

exactly, but to my interpretation, this experience is the same as sitting in traffic, which is inevitable here. LA needs to follow China's example and just ban 1 million cars from the street and make everyone take the bus.
