A Nod For Public Transportation

From the Star-Telegram, via Biking In Heels; Cliff Lee the wunderkind free agent pitcher chose the Phillies because of public transportation.  His wife, Kristen lee is quoted

She prefers Philadelphia for the cultural opportunities and the dining, she said.

But mostly -- she really likes the trains.

Kristen Lee wanted her husband to return to the Phillies because of "how easy it is to get from point A to point B" in Philadelphia, she was quoted as saying by the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Phillies play three miles from City Hall. The stadium is a $1.85 ride from downtown on the Broad Street Line, plus a three-block walk.
