  2. < i don’t wanna have to rely on public transport and i don’t want more of my hard earned tax money to be spent on public transport which i don’t use.> You subsidize public transit every time you renew your driver's license. <plus you can bet your money that the more they invest in public transport the more they will artificially try to make it hard to own a car.>> Very much.

  3. <4. It can’t take you anywhere you like or there is lots of walking in between.> No ---- it can't as public transit was designed to run on specific and exclusively dedicated routes. And what do you have against waking? <6. Very slow and takes forever to reach places.> Due to having to pick up and let off passengers at designated stops along with driving in the same traffic as other vehicles.

  4. The same military responsible for the protection of the Persian Gulf, South Korea and others who ought to to be defending themselves.

  15. While interestingly, many public transit services hardly even serve poverty-stricken areas which is a by-product of racial segregation.

  16. Well, the money has to come from somewhere to pay employee salaries, maintenance and repairs among other operating costs

  17.  @safe-keeper1042  Well, you're free to go live downtown or New York, San Francisco or some other public transit-friendly city. That's if you can afford the rent.

  18. Isn't home-ownership discouraged in Germany?

  19. But it's still a business. And at the end of the day, it has to turn in a profit to remain viable. There's only so much money you can tax from "the wealthy."

  26. New Yorkers would like a word with you on that.

  28.  @sa3270  <But I'm sure those socialist countries would love give him handouts.> While letting their own citizens starve. LOL

  29.  @bucket6386  Plus passenger planes can't fly within China because the military owns the airspace.

  30. But LA was founded as a sprawl paradise for those who don't want to live like New Yorkers or Chicagoans.

  31.  @abnerwhitewaterduck6723  It does serve people alright. Just the ruling class and well-connected.

  32.  @sunshineimperials1600  No taxation without representation.

  34.  @EnjoyFirefighting  Canada's public transit is restricted to the largest of large cities namely Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
