The entire reason the transit system in Pittsburgh does not work is that more than half of the budget goes to paying pensions for their workers to retire and sit home starting in their early 50’s.

Early 50’s??? Pittsburgh is draconian. The MBTA lets one retire in their early 40’s. It was just recently increased to 55 but only for new highers, which means nothing will change for another 25 years.
