Anyways, fare recovery exceeds 100 percent in many East Asian public transit networks. I suspect our inability to get to that number has more to do with bad policy propping up the national delusion of home ownership (which may actualy be making home ownership less affordable) than it does with public transit being a bad business case per se.

Well thats also because bus/transit drivers and staff are paid a lot less than the average wage. Its a bottom tier job. In comparison here its an above average upper-middle class job. Even the attendants make more than me and teachers.
