Los AngelesA commuter sits in a Los Angeles Metro train in Los Angeles, Wednesday, July 13, 2022.
Jae C. Hong/APLos Angeles was ranked ninth out of the North American cities on Oliver Wyman Forum's list and 37 out of the 60 transit systems examined across the globe.
The city might be a surprising addition considering it is known for its vehicle traffic congestion.
Only 6% of LA residents use the city's public transportation, which tends to be slow and lacks "a sufficient density of stations," according to the Oliver Wyman Forum.
However, the city gained some points for its 2020 Long Range Transportation Plan, which dedicates $80 billion over the next 30 years to upgrading Los Angeles County metro system and expanding it to serve more than 200 stations.
