Providence RI certainly merits a mention. Overall the city carries a very high Walk Score of 79, with many sections scoring in the high 80s and low to mid 90s.
Providence and Worcester are both in the top pedestrian/cyclist commuter shares in the country
Also Springfield MA owns the 2nd busiest Trsnit system in New England despite being the 7th largest metro
They're building one now. It will be very similar to the Skytrain in Vancouver. Home
Yes I’m aware, once that is complete Honolulu will improve on what’s an already great PT system and be the only city anywhere near its size with rapid transit. It’s a very impressive metro for its size when it comes to transit and density imo.
Eugene, OR is a city of 173k and has a true BRT system, with bus lanes separated by curbs. The bike lanes are (obviously) also really good.
The city was apparently considering light rail too, and while I'm not sure if the metro is big enough or growing fast enough to justify that, it speaks well of people's priorities that it was even considered.
At 16.6%, Hartford has the highest transit share of cities without rapid transit or light rail that aren't suburbs of larger cities. It has commuter rail though.
Miami Beach has a robust collection of buses and local "trolly" buses, a dense network of bike share stations, is highly walkable with dense population at its southern end, but doesn't have any sort of rail access like Miami does across the bay. Nonetheless, Miami Beach feels more classically urban with an active pedestrian scene of people going about their daily lives on foot. One way that this is noticeable is the number of people toting groceries by foot or on bike. It's very common in the urban areas of Miami Beach.
Ann Arbor MI appears to be the city with the highest percentage without MRT, Light rail or commuter rail. After that, it appears to be Madison(which looks to be getting BRT in 2024) and Rochester NY.
College cities like Champaign and Iowa City. Richmond VA isn't terrible either.
Iowa City has lousy transit service. No late night service, no Sunday service, only hourly service when it actually does run.
