在美國的大城市里，大多數(shù)都有很齊全的公共交通系統(tǒng)。尤其是紐約擁有的市內(nèi)地鐵和公交車系統(tǒng)就是全世界最大、利用率最高的地區(qū)之一。公共交通系統(tǒng)可以減少污染和緩解交通負(fù)擔(dān)。對(duì)于人口眾多的大城市，這是個(gè)非常重要的問題。然而，美國人是愛車的。平均每個(gè)家庭的小汽車擁有量為兩輛。因此用于修建公路的資金往往比用于修建新的地鐵線和火車線路的資金多得多。在象亞特蘭大這樣的一些城市，隨著人口的增加，也同時(shí)意味著污染和交通阻塞的日益嚴(yán)重。
The public transportation systems in most big cities in America are very good. New York, especially, has one of the largest and most useful subway and bus systems in the world. Public transportation helps to cut down on pollution and traffic. In big cities, with so many people, this is a very important problem. However, Americans do love their cars. The average family has two. So much more money goes into building roads, than new subway or train lines. In some cities, like Atlanta, this has meant a quick increase in pollution and traffic congestion as its population has grown.
