Americans are in the middle of a great shift in the way we get around. Millennials aren't all that interested in cars anymore and they're looking for other ways to get from place to place. Last year, the average American drove 6 percent fewer miles than they did in 2004. Whether it's a result of the Great Reset, high gas prices, or environmental concern, Americans are cutting driving out when they can and seeking out other ways to get to work, school, and everywhere in between.

No doubt with all that in mind, the team behind Walk Score has just released a new study ranking the 25 best American cities for public transit, based on a new index they've dubbed Transit Score. Transit Score measures how well a location is served by public transportation using open data released by local public transit agencies. (As such, only those cities that provide open public transit data were ranked.)
