While the US is investing less in transit than other countries, the projects themselves are silly expensive compared to other countries. For how little transit is used in the US, it's amazing how much (relative) funding there is.
To get the US towards building much more transit (and other infrastructure) there are many hurdles, but one of the main ones is building useful things for non-obscene amounts of money.
- Xeoncross 3y agoyeah, that goes back to us paying people more than other countries. People in the US make a killing managing projects, working in the office, etc... not to mention the huge amounts the C-Suite as salary and bonuses for their leadership on these projects.
- danhor 3y agoAt least according to some, this isn't the (only) cause: https://pedestrianobservations.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/transitcon2023.pdf https://pedestrianobservations.files.wordpress.com/2023/04/t... People get paid similar to other countries, but the whole structure is much less productive. There are also many other issues.
