Look, I didn't quote you, I simply gave the OP my suggestions, why the heck do you always have to start this?
And we all know you hate the south. I really don't care if you think their public transportation sucks.

Atlanta's public transit is pretty good I hear, though I've never taken it. It might be an option.

If she doesn't have a car, I'd recommend Dallas over Houston. Hopefully in a few years public transit in Houston will be better with the additional rail lines planned, but as of now, it leaves a lot to be desired. When my car broke down and I had to take the bus I had a heckuva time getting around, and I lived pretty close to downtown. Lots and lots of waiting, and loooong rides. I wouldn't wish being carless in Houston on anyone. It's only somewhat comfortably doable in a select few places, namely anywhere along the SINGLE rail line.
That first map of Dallas is rail only. You didn't include bus.
