I lived in New York City for eight years.  I did not have a car, but I was able to get around nicely on public transport.  I have also used public transport in Chicago and LA.  All three cities have good public transport. I have also used public transport in Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston.  In fact, I used public transort in Dallas for more than 33 years to get to and from work.  So I am familiar with how public transport in the U.S. works.  Whilst I lived in Melbourne, Victoria, I rode public transit every day.  Again, I did not have a car because I did not need one, although I did have a motorbike to get around on the weekends.  I also used the public transit systems in Adelaide, Sydney, and Brisbane.  There is one cautionary note to observe when using public transit in the U.S. , especially at night.  Be careful!  Although the big city transit systems have a small army of transit police, they cannot be everywhere.  Also, there are neighborhoods in the U.S. that one simply should not venture into.  In New York, for example, be careful where you go in northern Manhattan as well as the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.   I go back to New York at least once a year.  Having lived in Bay Ridge for more than six years, I like to visit some of my old haunts.  I have no qualms about taking the train from Manhattan to Bay Ridge.  But at night I always sit in the same car as the motorman or conductor.  Just in case.  The train passes through (under) some pretty bad neighborhoods to get to Bay Ridge.  And the bad guys can get on and off them with ease.
