How Puget Sound's Public Transit Systems Rank Nationwide

SEATTLE — Public transportation is the backbone of America’s cities, so it’s no surprise that riders in Puget Sound surely have some strong opinions about the area’s transit system. However, a new report sheds light on whether those feelings are justified.

Fabric Insurance Agency on Wednesday ranked the best transit systems in the country based on key measurements such as approval ratings, share of workers who commute using public transit and trips taken per person.

The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area ranked sixth in the country, just behind the Boston-Cambridge-Newton metro in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and ahead of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metro in Colorado.

Here are the top 10:

New York-Newark-Jersey City

San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA

Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV

Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL

Boston-Cambridge-Newton-MA-NH

Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA

Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO

San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA

Portland-Vancouver-Hillsboro, OR-WA

Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
