There is no doubt that there needs to be secure funding for transit in American cities. However at the same time, I get the sense that American Transit systems tend to spend money very quick and don't really think of how to build an efficient system that can weather storms better.
I know low density plays into it and all that. But American Transit systems recover something like 30% or less of operating costs from fares. That is very low and I am sure there must be ways to get the cost recovery higher.
