They mention at-site transit in the RFP, and the transit in Pittsburgh seems light.

To the suburbs, yes. Just a few park-n-ride lots.

Inside the city to downtown is pretty good though. Lots of busses to downtown and oakland from the most popular neighborhoods (East Liberty, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, etc).

It's pretty light in Seattle too

As a Seattlite, I kind of wonder if this isn't in response to our lack of transit. We have some possibility of improvement, but it is almost 20 years out for my neighborhood and Amazon is growing super fast. Since they can't stem the growth to the rate of infrastructure development, maybe they can offset the growth to another city. And that city needs infra already waiting. Of course this narrows down city choice significantly.
