hello! i hope you enjoy this quiz and i am open to feedback. determining what counts exactly as public transport is difficult, because all of these cities do technically have *some* level of transport. so here's some notes:

- the cities are defined by 2024 us census population estimates, based on urban area. i only included areas with a population over 1 million people.

- the cities with a white background are those where population figures are merged between multiple Metropolitan areas as defined by the US census.

- i counted commuter rail with the requirement that there were over 10,000 riders per weekday.
