The personal finance website Wallethub released its 2019’s Cities with the Best & Worst Public Transportation survey Tuesday.
“Wichita ranked 29th overall,” said analyst Jill Gonzalez. “We did look at 100 cities here in terms of their public transportation. That’s in the top third, definitely something to be proud of. It did particularly well when it comes to its safety and reliability of public transportation.”
Wichita was 7th in that ranking.
“We looked at three things there,” said Gonzalez. “We looked at the public transit safety and security events per miles traveled. That would be things like collisions, derailment, fires, security. Those number of events were relatively low. We also looked at injuries and fatalities per passenger miles traveled.”
