Public transport isn't supposed to make money. It's not even supposed to break even. It's supposed to lose money and to be financed and extended from general taxes because it gives back way more than mere money.

And all the politicians know this because they keep building and maintaining streets for free

@jay_peper Imagine the furor if businesses who use the roads had to pay to use them...

@bulwynkl @jay_peper Actually, businesses do fund road usage out of taxation, as do all of us. I think too, once we end up all-electric, along will come road pricing, to replace fuel duty, which is high in some countries.

@eyebee @jay_peper Zackery! so why are we paying for public transport twice?

@bulwynkl @jay_peper Make public transport free. That will encourage some extra use, but some people simply need to use a car.

@eyebee @bulwynkl some do, but way less than most people think

@jay_peper @bulwynkl Thing is, when you have a car, you tend to use it, even for trips that you really don’t need to!
