“I’ve been on clean mass transit in the US, but usually that was when new vehicles were put into service.”

I’ve only used it in NY and Detroit.

But the way the Left touts mass transit, you’d think its advocates use it. I was at a meeting in Tallahassee where the politicians were trying to force its use by closing down the east/west routes. Someone in the meeting pointed out that none of the people at the speaker’s table used the busses. He read off their addresses and all of them were in the far north of town, the expensive neighborhoods where the busses don’t run. The mayor at the time said, “Yeah, well we don’t need the busses.” Then you have all those advocates for green energy touting it and they regularly fly their private jets. (Okay for thee but not for me.)

This country used to have quite an extensive “mass transit” system, when it was under private ownership. Then the government(s) taxed and regulated it out of the hands of the private sector, took it over and made a living hell out of it.
