[quote name='jPoD']Oh, I forgot to add. The public transportation in Denver is by FAR the best of any i've ever used.[/quote]
At least you have a public transportation system!
We have no subway and the buses are a joke. And taxis are a waste. One time, I was flying back from either Phoenix or Chicago and it was a nice summer evening and I only had a light backpack (I wasn't out of town long). I decided to save the >$20 (not including tip) and walked the 7 miles home. It was nice exercise and I stopped and had a bite on the way home. (Took just over two hours.)
With the exception of work, I'd use a mass transit system if it was available. That's what I love about Toronto; whenever I'm there, a day-pass gets me anywhere I want to go and I don't have to deal with parking (another lousy thing about Detroit...)
