I don’t see what homelessness has to do with transit viability aside from them making you uncomfortable. When everyone rides the bus or train, the share of people behaving badly goes down fast. The reason areas with poor transit have their busses overloaded with vagrants is because every public good gets overloaded with vagrants if not enough people are using it. >I've seen that has a chance to change this is to come down hard on poor public transit behavior, perhaps by putting actual people on the buses with the specific job of cracking down on the drunk/high/piss soaked/etc types, in an effort to improve the quality of the service to the point that the middle-upper income groups uses it again. Or you could, I don’t know, treat them like human beings, get them counseling, and reintegrate them into society?
