講返正題,我反而唔太喜歡美國公交的「多樣化」,好像 Boston 既 green line, silver line, 費城既 street car,呢類怪獸,不見得令整個公交系統更 effective 同 efficient,反而有佔用路面,或甚至好像 silver line 般,臨落隧道竟然要司機落車,成車人等佢掛集電弓等等既情況。論公交成效,北美城市我都係喜歡 Washington DC 同埋 New York City,不論 network 還是 efficiency 都比較好。
I almost moved from Seattle to Boston few years ago, as I landed a job in Turfs. However, I didn't take the offer because housing is super expensive and my car's license fee in MASS is super expensive (in WA it cost me only $115 to license my E430/ year). Also parking is a problem. But Boston does have a great transportation system, and cleaner streets.
