It's kind of silly how contentious this subject is.
The majority opinion is that we all pay for public works projects even if they don't benefit us, but for some reason, transit must be self-funded. It's odd, to say the least.
- kergonath 2y agoIt makes sense if enough people with influence over lawmaking and government have a vested interest in benefiting from “free” infrastructure and some level of friction to use public transit. Add a pinch of “public transit is useless anyway, I have a chauffeur” and here you are. It is completely counter-productive and damaging to the economy and the environment, but it is not that odd, unfortunately.
