Philly’s public transportation is totally hated on and sometimes rightfully so, but you can get to a lot of necessary places taking the two lines and walking or biking

Each has varying degrees of transit mobility and work in different ways. All are on the cheaper end for major cities—though depends on your idea of cheap. I’ve lived in philly and minneapolis without a car. Philly’s trains and trolleys get you most places you’d want to go if you live near a stop. There’s also a bus system that’s a little frustrating bc of traffic but the routes are pretty comprehensive. Some bike lanes but the drivers there aren’t super safe to bike around. Minneapolis is more spread out and there are two light-rail lines (i think? maybe there are more? I’ve been here for like a month), and it seems like most people i know who aren’t driving take the buses. There’s also an incredible amount of bike lanes and trails. Downside is winter probably. And i haven’t lived in baltimore but i’ve heard good things! It’s also more affordable than most cities and i can’t attest to the quality of the public transit but i know it’s there.

God damn I love this city!!!! Come here and ride septa or just WALK everywhere!!!! run along the river, read a book in Clark park, have a fantastic cocktail, go to an underground horror movie show, see a comedy show at a weird dive bar and YES YOU CAN DO ALL THIS IN NYC BUT COME DO IT HERE INSTEAD.

It’s central to anywhere in America you want to be, but there’s so much going on here you’ll always have new things to do. Just as long of a commute to Manhattan as Brooklyn or Queens, but half the price. Cheap food, weird drinking laws, cuter than you’d expect by a lot. Where my Philadelphia heads at?
