New York, Union City, NJ; and San Francisco claimed the top three spots in the U.S., according to the latest Transit Score\u00ae update.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

New York<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Union City<\/span><\/a>, NJ; and <\/span>San Francisco<\/span><\/a> top the 2019 list of best cities for public transit, looking at cities of all sizes, according to Redfin\u2019s latest <\/span>Transit Score\u00ae<\/span><\/a> ranking. Transit Score, a tool by Redfin company <\/span>Walk Score\u00ae<\/span><\/a>, rates locations based on how convenient they are to public transportation. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the past, Redfin\u2019s annual Transit Score report typically only examined large cities with a population of 300,000 or more. However this year, Redfin is presenting the raw ranking, unfiltered for population, to show that transit is not reserved only for the largest places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHousing affordability has become a nationwide concern, leading people to move away from big, expensive cities to smaller, affordable commuter towns and inland areas,\u201d said Redfin<\/span> chief economist Daryl Fairweather<\/span><\/a>. \u201cSmall cities that offer the best of both worlds–accessible public transit and relatively affordable homes for sale–are destined for strong growth in the coming years.\u201d <\/span>
