American commuters make over 27 million trips on mass transit systems DAILY.

Being one of them I can attest to the fact that government is not the answer. My bus is private and gets almost no government subsidies. The 10% or so of operating costs that the state gives is not nearly enough to make up for taxes (diesel, business taxes, etc). Private mass transit like my bus is a freebie for the government and is milked to subsidize your stupendously wasteful government mass transit.

???

So why do you feel that your private bus is entitled to more subsidies to "make up" for taxes?

That doesn't make sense.
