Being a huge advocate for public transportation, I have to admit that it doesn't translate that well to many American cities. Most American cities have too low density.
There is another issue I've noticed with public transit in the US which I haven't experienced elsewhere and have no good explanation for: Too frequent stops. May it be buses in LA or light rail in SF or PDX, they constantly are stopping. It seems like there is a stop on at least every other block making it super slow to go cross town.
