Yes, it’s bad almost everywhere. D.C. is surprisingly good, and I’ve heard NYC is good too. Those are the two exceptions. Everywhere else: at best it exists but sucks. It’s nearly impossible to use as a reliable service, like you need for getting to work or whatever. It may be possible if you really need it, but you’ll have to sacrifice a lot to use it. It may be acceptable to use on vacation or when time isn’t an issue.
Minneapolis is okay for public transportation. The light rails are great, but bus travel falls way off only coming every 15-35 minutes depending on the route. The 35 minutes for a bus makes reliability very very hard, even when you plan around it so taking it to work wouldn’t be feasible without planning to get to work 0-30 minutes early
