I don't think rich people have as much influence on public transit as you think. And in New York at least, truly rich people take a car service. Subways are for the normal people. The truly rich want their own private space and they want sunlight. In any case, nobody's talking about the privatization of public transport, which is the conversion from public to private. This is about alternate private options becoming available. The public option stays. And it's not about subways, it's about buses.
