Here’s a thought: Fire every government creep who thinks it’s their job to tell the citizenry how to live.
The difference between transit in Europe and most other countries, versus the US, is in the US, you get knifed by the locals when you try using inner city transit...and this seems to be a ‘feature’ that the local leaders are proud of.
Offering citizens wifi, while riding transit would go a long way to increse ridership. Allowing people to save time to answer emails or do other productive work would make up for the longer ride.
Get Secretary Pete out to extol the virtue of choo choos, and VP Harris to sing the praises of electric buses, and things will turn right around.
Seriously, though, they lie all the time, but it’s unusual to see them publicly strategizing how to do it
RE: Allowing people to save time to answer emails or do other productive work would make up for the longer ride.
So, they would risk having to endure sitting next to mental cases just to be able to do some work on the trains?
Why not just do it from home?
thats what the evs are for
to force more people on to public transport
Legislate national CCW.
Advertise riding on mass transit as going on safari.
Maybe California would be better off spending billions of dollars on water desalination plants and reservoirs instead of spending it on a magic choo choo train that no one will ride. Just a thought.
I’m not a transit user. I’m just suggesting what they could do to entice people onto transit.
My city is fairly safe from the mental cases.
You get knifed by the locals when you try using inner city transit. You need situational awareness. So wifi is out. Unless you are Eloi
Plus using a laptop or even a smart phone makes you a target.
That’s not a problem in my city. We aren’t New York or Detroit. Transit safety in my city is probably about the same as a European city.
I’m just saying that the benefits of riding transit have to be greater than riding a car if people are going to ride transit.
Also you have to sell absolute safety on these trains and until you do that and crack down on everything that people will not put up with your wasting your time.
Keeping the trains extra clean and above all safe and free from the dregs of society will work also.

This works out great where people are boring and civilized and honkies and Japanese. But even then, the Japanese trains (Tokyo) are plagued with gropers and perverts
How many trains do we have to not ride before you accept the fact that we don’t want to ride your trains?
The dolts that advocate for the mass transit “sys-skams” say that it is not possible for public transportation to be self-supporting.
Then they virtue-signal about how important it is for people to be able to go places. Never mind that the people they have in mind are already getting free (or highly subsidized) everything.
Great articles from California a few years ago said polling showed the daily gridlock traffic jams caused a big majority to say they wanted rail and bus transit greatly expanded——but for other people to ride on. Surveys showed they admitted they wouldn’t ride on them but continue driving cars.
Hypocritical jerks.
Ten years ago the BART was an acceptable form of transportation. Today, it’s a cesspool. Californians could learn a lot of they stepped on a train in Switzerland.
