^^ Is it necessary to do this in every thread these cities are mentioned in? Every time one of these three cities are mentioned, the people that dislikes them cities come out.

I agree with you. It seems to me that ferries and cable cars are so comparatively rare that they probably have virtually no impact on final ratings. I wonder about weighting light rail generally 1.5X buses, though. I think it would make sense for light rail systems that don't have to follow traffic, but I don't think it makes sense for light rail systems that share the road.

You're right. We should only be focusing on the cities that have a population of 500,000+ and land area of over 200sq. miles. I know. I know. If Houston wasn't 600 sq. miles, their ranking would be much higher.

Alright, already. Sheesh.
And for starters, I think having 48 miles of rail and 38 stations might at very least be worth mentioning. BTW, have they cleaned the seats on the BART line yet? They are FILTHY.

Yes it would, and it would beat your Minneapolis in the same square miles as well.

Let's be real, only reason you made that 200,000+ list is so you can include Minneapolis.
