Where getting around without a car is nearly impossible.

For millions of Americans, reliable public transportation is a necessity, not a luxury. Unfortunately, some states fail to provide efficient, accessible, or affordable transit options, leaving residents with long commutes, unreliable schedules, and few alternatives to driving. Whether due to poor funding, lack of infrastructure, or sprawling cities designed for cars, these states rank among the worst when it comes to public transportation.
If you rely on buses or trains, you may want to avoid these places.
