Modern North American transit is designed exclusively for the poors. The time of those people has little or no value so we can save money on getting them to our kitchen, gardens, and factories by spending their time walking more. Besides, it's good exercise and keeps them fit for their lot in life. All the money we save at the expense of the poors can be put into making the capital works impressive and highly visible so when the taxpayers are driven by (or drive by, some people like that kind of thing) they can behold how much their elected representatives have done for them and get reminded of that next time they vote.
