No, here in the United States, people freely choose to use mass transit if it's an available alternative.

What a friggin’ waste of the taxpayer’s money!

American commuters make over 27 million trips on mass transit systems DAILY.
They, and their employers, are all taxpayers who benefit from this form of transportation.
It is economically irresponsible to flippantly dismiss transit funding as "a waste".

Have you ever ridden on Amtrak?

I have.

50 empty seats for every person on board.

Willie wept. Sad Willie, socialism is simply NOT a FREE REPUBLIC virtue. Not now, not never.
