Everyone wins. Would the revenue generated from those taxes result in successful public transit reform to address the issues that are pushing the public away? Not arguing that it doesn't, I'm genuinely curious because I don't know enough about the problem to say that insufficient funding is the root of the issue for most cities' transit systems. I'd agree that it's a net win if the additional funding would enable meaningful progress, but nobody wins if money isn't the root of the problem and that money is squandered or spent elsewhere.
