It works great in Stockholm, which is one reason I want and intend to live
there. And the metropolitan area is similar in size to Pittsburgh, at
least if I recall the numbers correctly. They have a commuter rail system,
a subway system, a light rail (partial) ring as well as light rail
feeders, and a narrow-gauge truncated interurbanish thing. We have 3
busways and what is arguably a single light rail line. The living here is
dirt cheap but the available options both driving and not suck.
