They use rfid cards to get on so boarding is quick and they also have a nice free zone downtown. Both the drivers and the passengers were some of the nicest/most polite I've ever met.
RFID chips installed in their forearms pursuant to Obamacare?
Where did you get that number? I'm pretty sure Chicago has more cabs than L.A., but there are a lot of cab agencies in the Los Angeles/Long Beach metro. I'm just curious since I have never been able to find a good source for this area.

It's from Wikipedia, but is only for LA by itself. Doesn't count Santa Monica, the Beach Cities, Long Beach or Burbank (airport = cabs).
A lot of people voted against Obama for this reason. I encountered a number of people who thought federal agents were going to strap them down and implant chips in their scalps. It's one thing to read about this on an anonymous internet forum and another thing to see actual human beings sincerely tell you this to your face.

Oh wow that is interesting. The thing with the LA buses is that you can get just about anywhere from anywhere on the buses, though you will most likely have to transfer and it will most likely take a fairly long time if traveling a large distance - both the positive and the negative above is resulting from the grid-based system.
One advantage Chicago has over LA and NYC is the lack of geography getting in the way. It's tough to traverse those rivers and bays in New York City, and it is difficult to run a bus across the Santa Monica Mountains (I think the only two buses that traverse them are on Sepulveda and Cahuenga - though maybe Laurel Canyon has a bus [it does]?).
Notice how he said there is no bus connection between Manhattan and Brooklyn using local buses. In real life there are 9 bus routes (and 16 subway routes) connecting the two boroughs, but by definition they are not local. He is technically correct, but with a little play on words there.
A unified bus map for NYC does not exist (it would be too huge), it is broken up into boroughs. Here is a bus map of Brooklyn just for reference: http://www.mta.info/nyct/maps/busbkln.pdf

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the only buses were ones connecting outer Brooklyn neighborhoods (Mill Basin, with Manhattan but most areas lacked bus service.

Mill Basin has the BM1 bus, there are 8 more routes in Brooklyn with similar service. The thing is, they cover pretty much where subway does not cover, since it doesn't make sense to take a bus into Manhattan along the same subway route. The only Brooklyn-Manhattan buses that go next to a subway line are the X27 and X37 out of Bay Ridge, and that is because the R train is a local train only.
