Mass transit is one of the greatest taxpayer frauds of the modern age. Cities drop a million dollars on a single bus, another $50k a year on the driver, another $50k on maintenance… then watch it roll around half-empty (or completely empty) while the same politicians clap themselves on the back for “saving the planet.” It never turns a profit. It never comes close. Fare revenue covers a tiny fraction of the real cost. The rest is pure subsidy — your money — flushed down the drain so progressive mayors can virtue-signal on Instagram. They know the system is inefficient. They know most people still drive.They know the ridership numbers are inflated. But facts don’t matter when the goal is moral superiority. So they keep buying more buses, more trains, more tracking apps that pay people not to drive… while the actual day to day needs of the city get nothing. This isn’t transportation.It’s a performance.And we are the suckers funding the show.
>>540480223you know why they're empty
I'm not getting on a bus with bl*cks and jeets. I'm just not.
>>540480223Why would it cost a millionMy work truck is about 160k new for a semi
>>540480223Now do trains - they are far worse. Mass transit is just an expensive control system for the peasants.
>>540480223Most cities and canadian cities already scrapped these pieces of shit. They barely function, in cold weather.
How much has Trump wasted on the Iran war?
>>540480464>drive my car into the orca tank
>>540480596If the government was buying semis, they would cost $3 million.
>>540480604Trains and mass transit are both ideas that are great in theory but ruined when executed by women, niggers and jews (aka government)
>>540480223Busses should be state owned paid by taxes for free to use only for tax payers and their families as a service.
>>540480223>50k for a bus driverlol. they are not that cheap
>>540480223Just one of those bus windows costs $2500. The windshield can be $10k+.
>>540480981Put Flock cameras on the entrance to every bus that deny service if you have warrants or are a sex offender. People would actually use them again.But that's not what the kikes want
>>540480657Killing sandniggers is never a waste.
>>540481098Haven't you heard? Flock cameras are racist, and AI is the Antichrist.
>>540480596Americans somehow always pay multiple times more for basic infrastructure than euros and asians do. It's the reason why there's still no high speed rail in the US.
My biggest problem with public transportation is that in order to get anywhere further than a couple miles you have to make like 3 connections that are each on a tight schedule (for you to get on, not for them to show up on time) and if one bus is 5 mins late it can fuck you over for like an hour. Causing a 40 min bus trip to turn into an 2 hour trip, while a person with a car would get there in like 20 mins
>>540480464100% thisI was late to a midterm exam once because the bus I was on got stopped by the cops so they could arrest some porch monkey
>>540480223Driver at $50k/year? lol, there’s a. I’d-sized college city an hour way here in the Midwest, drivers make about $125k/year and some dude pulled enough OT to get almost $200k. For driving a bus.Most bus drivers in cities are making much more than you think.
