Public transit is supposed to be cheaper than a car...

  Public transportation's only certain benefit is that people who simply cannot drive are able to get from A to B.

    That is one benefit. People who can't drive are stuck with whatever you give them, and will figure out whatever convoluted system required. They all dream of the time/day they can drive. This one is also mandated by law (US ADA) - if you provide any form of public transit you must provide for the disabled. If we ignore the legally required para transit (most expensive) service for those who cannot drive is the cheapest you can get. There are other benefits that transit can buy. However they are less certain. When you try to attract someone who could drive you have the hard problem of providing service where and when people are to where and when they want to be.

      Why do you think I got flagged? You seem to agree with me. But why flagged? It makes no sense!!!
