| Jul 9, 2016 at 17:23 | comment | added | vartec | @einpoklum Caltrain is by far the weakest part. Do yeah, commuting to/from South Bay sux. On the other hand BART is way more reliable than NS. With NS I'd have “rijd niet" or "+60 minuten" like 20 times a year, in BART that would average to like 2-3 times a year. | |

Caltrain, BART and MUNI are at least one organization too many; their stations don't intersect enough; and Caltrain is slow AFAICR. Still, it's great relative to most places in the US. | |

Also, in some places you must pay a local income tax (e.g. Maryland to the county, in New York City to the city) plus a commuter tax, neither of which appear to be common in Europe. | |

| Mar 19, 2014 at 18:05 | comment | added | gerrit | Another aspect to consider: if a city is cyclable, that can make a big difference in commute costs. | |
| Mar 19, 2014 at 18:01 | comment | added | gerrit | A single bus fare is not €2.80 in Amsterdam. It's far less: €0.87 + €0.148/km. For a 3 km bus trip that'd be €1.31 ($1.83). The €2.80 that you quote is for 1 hour of unlimited travel. There are far cheaper options for most users. | |
