San Antonio Using ONLY Public Transit

San Antonio is America's 7th largest city, but it has NO rail transit network. So how do folks get around? The short answer is that most own a car, but many others rely on the extensive bus network throughout the city. On this episode we push how many VIA Buses we can ride, while also mixing in some bike share, scooters, and more. We also met up with the San Antonio Chapter of Strong Towns (Link to more on them below!)

Let us know what you thought of this episode! What did we miss in San Antonio that we should cover in a future video? We have plans to do more in the area given our close proximity. Let us know!
