1 in 10 Ride Public Transportation Regularly

One in 10 Americans use public transportation either daily or weekly, which includes bus, train or subway rides.

The findings were contained in a report issued by the Pew Research Center.

The report found that the 25 percent of those living in the Northeast used public transportation, the largest concentration of transit users.

Transit riders were more likely to live in cities (21 percent) and than suburbs (6 percent) or rural areas (3 percent).

Those who are lower-income, black or Hispanic, immigrants or under the age of 50 are more likely to use public transportation on a regular basis.
