In California, tax measures like the bond measures supporting transit investment have to be passed with a 2/3rd majority. Yet Los Angeles County voters have steadily supported them. A ballot measure is likely coming in November, raising $120B for transportation. It includes highway funding, but it's a massive contribution to transit investment.
Angelenos are massively in favor of transit investment. Now their motive can be ambiguous, maybe they just want other people off the streets to alleviate their traffic. But still, they support massive investments.
