Certain public-transit rides offer a lot more than plain conveyance. Great scenery, technological innovation, and historical significance await on ferries and funiculars around the U.S. The following are some of the most enjoyable and interesting public-transit offerings in the country. Our list is confined to public-transit systems, including bus, metro, and suburban rail, used primarily by local residents.
