without sacrificing time. In the cities on our list, commutes are
shorter than average, and a great many of them are on foot, bicycle,
or via public transportation. The list is heavy on college towns, for
a few good reasons: Such places are good fits for nondrivers because
they are often compact and dense, and they often have liberal
populations that demand more investment in public transportation.
