>>NONE of these systems run unsubsidized by the taxpayers, and the rates of subsidization are nothing short of ridiculous. When the taxpayers have to fork over $15 per passenger mile, it becomes relatively obvious that we can save money by sending them in chauffeured limos, or by simply buying them new Cadillacs.<<

Taxpayers subsidize the costs associated with car travel, too, such as roads and highways. And in my experience, building more roads and highways relieves the problem for a short time, only.

In my experience, here in California the reverse is true.

But I suppose it depends on your definition of "subdidize".
Only a small fraction of gasoline taxes paid are used to build and maintain highways. These taxes once upon a time were committed exclusively for highway maintenance and expansion.

And light rail relieves the problem once and for all?
