Is public transit usable in Worthington?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I've been here for 16 years and Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. It's a a small town city with about 1,813 people. Median household income is $65,432, which feels about average for the area. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Looking forward to hearing from you all. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

I've lived in The Heights for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from San Francisco, I was surprised by job market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Strong job market in several industries
- The cultural scene scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for families. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
