I won't necessarily disagree but I would point out I typed my previous comment before seeing/reading

Before I go there I want to make one key point.
I previously posted the data and IIRC Austin makes up over 80% of the Cap Metro district (population) so for the most part Austin residents will be funding transit.
In Phoenix, the city paid for their light rail; Tempe paid for it's portion of the original project and Mesa paid for the eastward extension into Mesa.
Minneapolis/St Paul is more fortunate in that the State has carried a lot of the financial burden.
