because politicians are not interested in public transit unless it involves a ribbon cutting and or a naming celebration.
throw in that within just the boundaries of one state and they could not even build a high speed rail without tripling of costs and involvement of hundreds of parties who all wanted their piece of the action.
in some sort of perverse way we should be thankful for all the political hamstringing that public transportation suffers because it has forced private industry to innovate around that.
the public transit bus is the most affordable and flexible means to move the people throughout the city yet it is regularly slighted in funds to promote rail which has more prestige attached to it.
