"So Musk can imply that there’s something wrong with transit because it’s too crowded—an example of the Yogi Berra fallacy—but cities and transit agencies shouldn’t care. If they’re crowded, they’re succeeding."
That seems like an enormous leap in logic. Saying agencies shouldn't care about overcrowding seems flippant. They most definitely should care about rider experience. Soviet bread lines were massively long, but that didn't mean they were hugely successful.
I love the usefulness of the subway when it actually runs on time. I hate the experience most of the time. Next time I hear "Showtime!" I want to punch somebody.
