You are forgetting the most important thing about public transportation. This is not Europe. Americans are independent people that drive their cars and trucks to work when they want to and only when they want to. Having public transportation may look and sound great, but the fact of the matter is that in the United States of America people do not use public transportation, they use personal transportation. If you disagree please point out a public transportation system that makes money in the US. They don't and until people figure out that Americans are independent travels foolish public transportation boondoogles will be funded that maybe if they are luck help 0.5% of the people in the city. PULIC TRANSIT IN THE UNITED STATES WILL NEVER SUCCEED.
