I was in Austin for a few months (coming from NYC) and the infrastructure was pretty laughable. Their train line has a single stop in downtown (1 more nearby), so it's useless. There are very few bike lanes around the city, yet the roads are huge. Their busses frequently left my stop 3-5 minutes EARLY so I'd end up waiting another one for 20-30 min.
The big transit idea I keep hearing about to solve their issues? Gondolas, of course...
