U.S. Cities You Can Navigate Without A Car

You absolutely love road trips but sometimes you wish to be in a place where you don’t have to worry about renting a car or driving around to see the sights.  There are plenty of cities in America that fit the bill.  Don’t be that one who drives in a city not defined by a car-oriented layout, stuck in bumper to bumper traffic instead of enjoying and experiencing the beautiful points of interests.   These cities may have excellent public transportation systems or are best seen by foot  so ditch that car.

USA Today teamed up with Mobility Score, a website that assesses transportation options in the top 100 Metropolitan areas in North America and came up with their list of best cities for travelers to get around without a car.  They also looked at these cities and factored in how easy it is to take a bus or catch a cab or train to move around and see the sights.

If you guessed New York as one of these cities— you’re right!  New York, with its well established public transit system, is on top of the list.  However if you thought that Los Angeles would not show up on the Top 10 List —–then this time, you’re wrong!  Although LA comes to mind when you think bumper to bumper traffic and a place where most people have a car and drive everywhere, Los Angeles still made the list due to the growth of the LA Metro area and the significant changes in mobility brought by Uber and Lyft.

Here are the other cities that rounded out the top 10.

New York City

Boston

Washingon DC

San Francisco

Philadelphia

Los Angeles

Chicago

Seattle

Denver

Baltimore
