Mumbai Enters List Of Best Cities For Public Transit

Public transport has made our lives much easier. It plays an important role in the lives of residents and visitors in cities and towns across the world. Buses, subways, and trains have made travelling easier.

From improved community health to affordability, public transportation systems create the foundation on which cities become more livable and prosperous.

With the aim to explore more about different public transportation networks, Time Out—the publisher of global city guides—surveyed more than 20,000 city dwellers in more than 50 cities to arrive at places with the best transportation systems. In the list, Mumbai became the only city in India to make it to the top 19.

Here are some of the cities whose public transport was highly praised by their residents:

1. BerlinThe survey found that 97 percent of Berliners raved about their city’s transport network. The U Bahn metro runs through 175 stations across nine different lines. Tickets are affordable and easy to get. If you ever want to visit Berlin, then you will be free of stress as far as public transport is concerned.
2. PragueStanding in second place, Prague is believed to have the best public transit system by 96 percent of its local citizens. Being one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Prague also has an equally efficient metro system.
3. TokyoTokyo stands at the third spot among the cities with the best public transit system.
