I know I risk taking this off topic and offending our Texan brothers, but I have lived in many cities all over the world. I have been to Houston (and while I didn't like it) Dallas(Arlington specifically) seems to have a problem.

NYC/SFO/ORD aside.

North American Cities that Get it

Vancouver BC (population 2m)
Has an amazing interconnected system of skytrains and buses. It does break down outside of the "City" but it works.

Los Angeles
recently/finally "figured it out" and is playing catchup building out a system that by 2030 will connect most ever

Portland

And Even Seattle is now expanding their transit offerings (to Bellevue)

North American Cities that DON'T get it (Worst listed first)
Orange County
Dallas/Arlington
Kansas City
Las Vegas
Tampa
Miami


Barcelona, Singapore, Tokyo, London all get it.
