Remember—mass transit is good.

Cars are bad.

The IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) was originally a private company. Thanks to the city government forcing them and rival BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit) to hold their fares down to 5¢ literally for decades, as well as “competing” against them with the cynically-named “Independent Subway” (IND), they were bankrupted after WWII with the city achieving their goal of taking them over.
