There is a train between Portland and Boston. Totally subsidized. Hardly anyone rides it because it does not go where people need it to go. There is a private bus company between Portland and boston. Comfortable, not noisy and goes where people need to be.
The train has been extended up to Freeport so the 26 leftists in Boston who want to feel smug about traveling to Freeport by train can do so.

I think public transit is the perfect solution for traffic congestion. I’dnever have to wait in traffic if everybody else took the bus.

So let's compare driving vs transit.
Driving seems to have peaked in 2007 and has been trending down since.
while transit trips have been on an upward trend since 1996. Vehicle miles traveled as reported by Federal Highway Administration, Transit trips as reported by American Public Transit Association

The trains in Dallas are always empty. My meaning of empty is less than ten per stop.
Then there's the "target on your back if you're white at night" on a Train, thing.
