No. No you do not. You need to force your local governments to campaign for better public transport and infrastructure.

That's very true.

I think it's a failure of imagination that the people running things believe public transport should turn a profit.

If it's run well, the economic benefits cover the costs indirectly.

And still, there will be places where it isn't the right answer, that an optimised and popular public transport system can not cover enough for people to be done with cars.

    It's not a failure of imagination, it's deliberate sabotage. They don't want transit to work because they're classist and transit is egalitarian.
