If there is the profit test then the subway operator will always strive to continue maximizing revenue while minimizing cost. That could be automated trains without drivers, making the trains more reliable to encourage more ridership, marketing events like free weekend riding, and all sorts of things.
It is the government-run subways that are stagnant, smelly, late, broken down because no one in the entire org has any incentive to do anything other than the bare minimum to avoid getting fired.

It's not always a red versus blue issue, but other countries don't have to constantly fight against one party that gets into government to prove government doesn't work by making government worse.
