not necessarily true.

#1. there have been profitable transit systems.

#2. We are already in the red for the amount of roads we lay down in this city. By avoiding a good transit system, we continue to spend and endless sum on roads, and perpetuate more urban sprawls. These costs are enormous. A smart transit system, can save us from a lot other griefs.

Obviously if your a builder, a good transit system is not necessarily a good thing.
