There is a long history of American transport, for the most significant parts of history, such as the transcontinental railroad, marks an important change that would change society forever. Railroads and public transport have aided civilians to travel, trade, and spread religions, contributing to continual advanced and revolutionary changes regarding modern technology. After collecting data from two cities in each of the fifty states, we utilized an equation to derive the efficiency of a city’s transportation system by examining the variables of a number of passengers transported daily, total working population, and the median commute time. The budget per capita for each city’s transportation system and the annual snowfall was also examined, and all data was collected from the United States Census and public transit authority records. Throughout the data, the researched variables have proven their significance to the efficiency of transit systems across the country. The research shows that there is little correlation to total working population and budget of transit systems. Another variable that does not affect the efficiency is average snowfall per city. However, there are proven effects of spending per person and efficiency; the research shows a large correlation.There are several different correlations that the variables have with one another. These relationships play a major part in the efficiency of the public transportation system of these cities.
