Yonah Freemark @yonahfreemark.com · 12/08/2026In June 2026, the US urban areas with the highest per-capita transit ridership were: 1—New York 2—San Francisco 3—Washington, DC 4—Boston 5—Seattle www.thetransportpolitic.com/databook/us-... 1020225
Ari Ofsevit @ofsevit.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I’d be interested to see SF-Oak+SJ. I feel like SF punches above its weight because a lot of the suburbs aren’t included. 130
susancragin.bsky.social @susancragin.bsky.social · 12/08/2026This speaks not just to the availability of transit, but the necessity of dense housing. 050
Josh Martin @jlmartin.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Unfortunately, I strongly believe SF/OAK should be combined with SJ. It’s a continuous (sub)urban area with no clear dividing line 220
Paul adore le Canada @paulfish.bsky.social · 13/08/2026This is pretty dang close to a list of the cities I most want to live in, in order. 010
SideStreets @sidestreets.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Champaign, IL being on this list for the month of June, when UIUC is not in session, is crazy. 080
ptbrennan.bsky.social @ptbrennan.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Is Davis really an "urban area?" I'd bet that it's a mix of local students plus regional Sacramento and Bay Area commuters. Hope I'm wrong about this. 100
John Smillie @johnsmillie42.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Having attended the Univ. of Illinois, I always love how Champaign punches way above its weight on these. 2281
Central NJ Yimby 🏗️🚲🚇🇺🇸 @princetonyimby.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I realize this is a sicko nerd point but I would love to see this data as a graph of "urban area density" vs "transit use" 120
Steve Boland @steveboland.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Honolulu above Chicago and Philly, we don’t talk about that enough 0101
