I've heard the NYC subways are effective but really dirty and can be kind of sketchy. How accurate would you say that is?

They can be dirty and a lil sketchy, safest thing to do is be aware of your sorroundings and wear a gym type bag/backpack on your front vs your back (in reverse)
I found them super useful when I do travel up in the area

Orlando public transport is rough. I’m thankfully right on a bus line that can take me most places I want to go, but most buses only come hourly and are rarely on schedule. There’s too few buses and the drivers are underpaid.
The upside is people with a blind services ID card ride for free.

Anybody been to or live in Phoenix? What are your thoughts on transit there?

I've been there, well, in the vicinity. I found it to be pretty bad. Buses don't run often and there aren't a lot of people familiar with the system, including the employees and operators. Plus side, everyone seemed friendly and professional. I don't think it's anyone's fault it is just that the metropolitan area is too spread out.
