Which suburb? There are great suburbs (Evanston, Oak Park) and there are awful ones (Plainfield, Schaumburg).
Virtually nobody in our (sizable) office drives to work besides me, and I really have no excuse, since I'm a short walk from the Green Line. Public transportation is spotty in the suburbs, but in terms of coverage (both in space and time) the actual city of Chicago's system is among the best in the country. Is New York's better? Yes. But New York might be the only US city that can easily make that claim.
There is no comparison to be made between Chicago and San Francisco, or between Chicago Metro and SFBA.
