 I'm Sherry. I'm from Columbus, Ohio. It's not that public transport is unaffordable here, but it's very inconvenient. You have to walk at least a mile to get to a bus stop, and there are not enough stops to make it practical. I got really spoiled when I was in Seoul, South Korea. Public transportation is amazing over there. Buses and trains run on time and get you to your destination quickly. I didn't care for all the stairs, but I guess they contribute to a great day every day.
