Citation needed. Over here, municipalities are trying to find further ways of reducing the cost of public transport. Spending money on comfort is simply not going to happen. Belgium's 2nd largest city's transit system has famously malfunctioning escalators (some of which have been broken for half a decade). The offering is reduced year after year, while prices go up.
I wish things were different.
