The distribution of population in a metropolitan area is also important. In many of the New England cities, people live closer into the city and need a form of transportation to get them around the city. Many cities, especially in the southeast, are experiencing urban sprawl with a commercial core to the city that everyone has to get to for work, while living a good 20-30 miles outside of the city. This causes for a transit system that sprawls out into the suburbs that gets people in and out of the city quickly. I think the Washington, D.C. Metro is a good example of this; it spreads out from Washington for everyone to get in with a core in the city where everyone is going.
