People always talk about the BART, which is a totally different (and more expensive) system than our Muni, and DOES NOT go everywhere you need to go when you actually live here.
It can take well over an hour to get across town, and it's only a seven-by-seven-by-seven mile patch of land.
I've spent some time in the Bay Area and have found that a bicycle, Muni Pass and (maybe) a BART trip to the eastside can be effectivley used to be much more efficient than a passenger car.
The minor inconveniences of commuting is the difference between MASS transportation and ME transportation.
hmmm good one. Boston has gotten much better with it's urban transportation planning while Maine is still in the backwaters of "build more roads to solve traffic problems"
