...in all of California? Or, the USA for that matter?
I don't have a car, but I can carefully plan out on how to go and visit places in the BA via an Amtrak, BART or VTA buses. Is it possible to do the same in any other place in California, or the US for that matter?

LA has a public transit system, but it's not 'great'.
NYC has a fabulous one - all classes of people ride it, which to me is the measure of it's success.
The MAX in Portland is also pretty good, but once you get outside a certain area, it can get sketchy.
DC's is also great, as is the El in Chicago.
Vegas has the monorail that runs the strip - it's a great way to get around that area.
Atlanta has Marta, it can be quite scary in some locations, but in the city during rush hour, it's not a terrible thing.
New Orleans has (had?) street cars that were great public transit. You couldn't find a seat on one during some times of the day.
But, European cities probably have it down pat. The Munich subways in particular are astounding. Clean, friendly, and on time to the second. : )

Hate to say it, yet you particularly favor a automobile in l. a.. there is extra to existence than purely commuting. What in case you want to pass to the shop? Or opt to pass to the sea coast for the day? For that you'll favor a automobile. and that i wager you're assuming you may have a pastime downtown? many roles aren't any further downtown. they are all around the southland. it must be a actual bummer in case you moved into an area with the aid of a metro line or metrolink practice, after that were given a pastime in Culver city. yet in case you want to/favor to stay with the aid of a taking position area, inspect a number of the condos with the aid of the everyday city red Line station. previous city Pasadena is a rather good position besides. in case you want to stay contained in the south bay, then Pine Ave in lengthy sea coast is the position to commence searching. yet purely so that you comprehend, the blue line is going with the aid of a few rather complicated elements. yet another selection must be searching into an area close to downtown Fullerton. it is a taking position position, and they have a metrolink supply up proper there. good success!

We have a great public transportation system in Portland. There's the MAX system which resembles the BART in the bay area, and we have a lot of bus lines and streetcars and trolleys that take you wherever you need to go downtown and beyond that.

Chicago and New York both have excellent transportation systems. You can go anywhere in New York city and most places in the nearby suburbs without needing a car for your entire life.
Chicago is a little more spread out, but their public transit is excellent as well.

The Bay Area is Hilly, Honolulu is mostly Flat - - - so two feet get you a lot further and the bus system is awesome. Of course the Ocean keeps one from going much further but why bother?

New York City, Boston, Washington, DC and Chicago all have great transportation systems. There are probably lots of other places, but I just haven't been there
