Not everyone on transit is on welfare, and not everybody driving a single occupancy vehicle is a CEO. Where did you dig that crap out of?

I suppose you missed the word "average".
Im not here trying to argue, the fact is that transit is a viable alternative for a insignificantly small percantage of our population. LARGE chunck of it is made of students, senior citizens and the very poor, less then half is made up of lower middle class to midle class workers and most of these use it to enter downtown and some smaller employment centers for the 9-5 job.
The return on investiment in roads is going to be significantly higher then the return on investment in transit. Doesnt mean we should not invest in transit but lets no pretend its anywhere close to road infrustructure on the importance ladder.
