Mine does not. I'm probably like the rest of rural America with this issue and it makes gas prices even more of a problem. We don't have the option of taking the train / bus or anything else. We can bike, a bit, but there is no bike paths and highway 95 can be dangerous with all the cars and trucks zipping up and down it.
Greyhound bus use to come to my town but they stopped that route about 20 years ago. To get on the bus, we have to travel 2 hours a way though it usually is cheaper to drive 2 1/2 hours to Spokane, Washington -- not sure why that is.
Even Amtrak doesn't stop!
I think things may have to change but I haven't a clue how it even will begin.
No, but I wish we did! I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I wish it was an option for me. It's also very dangerous to bike here b/c all of the roads are busy. Maybe if the gas prices keep rising, my city will figure out something that could work for people who don't have all this excess cash to spend on gas! Otherwise, I guess I'll just be staying home.
Yes we do, bus to downtown Cleveland and other surronding cities, a local city bus (loop) and the RTA Rapid (train) Easy enough to get downtown. I had tried to talking dh to drive to the RTA but he would have to change trains downtown and then its a 30 minute ride on that to where he works. HOWEVER if gas prices continue to rise to a scarier level he told me we will just have to deal with the extra long day Its nice that he does have the option if need be! We do a lot of walking, I defintly live in an urban city which we like!
No. Extremely limited bus routes. This is Detroit. In the early 1900's, the automotive companies bought all the trolly lines that used to connect around Detroit and to the outer suburbs, and then closed them and paved over them. They wanted to create a need for people to buy cars, and if there was public transport, they didn't need to buy cars.
Yay.

Yes we have public transportation all over the place. I have a train station three blocks away. The bus stop is around the corner. We have three or four different buses that go through my town. This town also has a bus just for seniors to go to the stores. Oh we also have a small airport.
that sounds neat. we have something like that called DART on call, and we have buses and trains from the Dallas area all the way through Fort Worth, and they're adding more cities to the system map in the next couple of years. the buses are a little ghetto, but they go everywhere, and the train is really nice, energy efficient, and quick. i'm very lucky to live where i do.
Does your community have public transportation?
Its nice that he does have the option if need be! We do a lot of walking, I defintly live in an urban city which we like!
