Some of the eye catching special effects visuals in the Star Wars franchise include an incredible number of small flying personal vehicles traveling through cities bumper to bumper to who knows where at high rates of speed. Do any of the city scenes ever depict inner city mass transit, or are all the vehicles either personal or freight carriers?
Welcome to Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange

We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:
Ask questions, get answers, no distractions
This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.
Just questions...
...and answers.
Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.
The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.
The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".
Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.
Don't the cities ever employ mass transit on 1st World planets in the Star Wars Universe?

I know that mass transit is seen in Episode II. But it isn't on Coruscant that this scene is filmed. However, given the fact that it is seen in one episode lends credence to the fact that we should expect it to be on a Core World.
And I am fairly sure I have read about the use of mass transit in one or two passages in a novel. I couldn't begin to guess at the title though.
One of the planets in the MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Rebublic has a monorail system for players use. Up to you whether you class it as cannon.

Get answers to practical, detailed questions
Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.
Ask about...
- Plot, character, or setting explanations
- Historical or societal context of a work
- Behind-the-scenes and fandom information
- Story identification
- Franchise/series reading or viewing order
Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.
Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.
Don't ask about...
- Reading or watching recommendations
- or any other question that is primarily opinion-based
- Lists of works with a particular plot element
- or any other question with too many possible answers or that would require an extremely long answer
Improve posts by editing or commenting
Our goal is to have the best answers to every question, so if you see questions or answers that can be improved, you can edit them.
Use edits to fix mistakes, improve formatting, or clarify the meaning of a post.
