What is the left’s obsession with ‘public transportation’?
Most of us don’t care for it...we have cars! Is it a fascist enviromental thing....a true need for the ‘poor’ to ‘get around’....a back door plan to take private property away for the ‘greater good’...or a slush fund for politicos to skim off the top and use for political pay offs/ bacon for the ‘home state’?
All of the above?
I just don’t get it. The poor get around ok on buses..do they not? I see buses all the time with 2 or 3 people on them in our neck of the woods.
Granted..passengers went up a bit during the high gas price period...but still..it was low. Now they have a rail system in our city. No-one rides it! It goes back and forth between our metro area and no-one is on the damn thing!
What is going on? Is the government subsidizing this venture in various places?
Just because it ‘works’ in DC and New York doesn’t mean it is going to ‘work’ for the rest of the country. It hasn’t ‘worked’ here.
Just curious what my fellow freepers think.
