Why in the US do we have poor public transportation?

Indira Wassell: What's the point?there are only a couple cities with dense populations that require for its citizens to voluntarily pack themselves into a train like cattle.No one in their right mind would do this unless or until traffic gets too congested. New york had clogged streets back when horses still clomped around , 175 years ago !Until my home town gets that bad, im not setting foot on any friggin bus or train. It's a good way to get mugged or harrassed by the retards and homeless bums....Show more

Phillip Modafferi: you're impressive. for the period of Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency there have been countless public artwork classes meant to furnish employment throughout the total melancholy. As this meant extra money for the inhabitants to hire, intake did strengthen substantially, dropping the unemployment fee virtually 10%. some public works initiatives, different than only offering temporary employment and performing as monetary stimulants, can a! ctual contain long term reward. case in point, as you pronounced, if we are able to enhance the national transportation equipment such that persons can get to their jobs for much less and companies do no longer pay as lots for the transportation of their products, extra money is conserved. This, in turn, interprets into extra available money. extra money ability extra intake contained in the kin monetary equipment and extra investment, a considered necessary element in increasing the monetary equipment's production capacities....Show more

Lawana Neemann: Americans love their cars, and dont want to pay for public transportation, look around while driving, at least 98% of the people I pass are alone in a car and I bet 60% or better are latched to a cell phone on their head

Ermelinda Stalnaker: Well, a change of attitude for starters. Not gonna be easy. People seem to be keen on "individualism" and privacy.One of the few laws of economics I understand is that you! need to create a need before consumers buy. So if you present! an incredibly attractive PT system, the clients will come in droves. If you just partially patch PT needs, it won't work. So there needs to be some major investments and the US tax income won't allow the governments to do this....Show more

Jackson Esmiol: I think the best way would be to tax fuel and use that money to bolster public transportation but I dont know how popular that idea would be since fuel is so expensive as it is.

Rosalia Hibler: to sell MORE Cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bernie Cerra: Money talks. The key is to make it more cost effective and convenient for people to take public transportation than it is to drive your own vehicle.Until then, it's all a good idea gone nowhere. The high fuel prices in Europe are both a cause and effect of good public transportation systems.I grew up on the West Coast, which was an area developed and settled largely in the booming automobile era where gas and land were cheap. Thus, cities took on an urban sprawl that gr! ew horizontally rather than vertically as most cities on the East Coast that developed and were settled largely in the horse and buggy era. Most public transportations here have only a few lines, aren't well funded or patronized, and don't have a lot of stops where people want to go.When it cost $150 to fill up your tank in the US, you can bet that you will see investment in buses and light rails....Show more

Thurman Buege: i recommend that the people (from every city) vote to build better public transportation. propose a bill to tax payers that would build or increase the public transportation.raise signatures from people that would ride the bus or train in a certain neighborhood. have rallies and raise the awareness of those who would like a greener world. i don't really know what to say about the US as a whole but, I'm from Portland, Oregon and the public transportation their is wonderful. we have buses that go almost everywhere and a light rail called the MAX. *M! AX stands for the metropolitan. area. express.* we the tax payers voted! and built the MAX. i know it's been around for at least 1decade....Show more
