IMHO, SUBSIDIZED public transit is one of those things the gov't

The benefits of this type infrastructure are almost to enormous to
calculate.

Public transit is subsidized.....locally each bus ride costs the taxpayer
approx. $25.00 but the ticket is about a buck......across the Columbia river
in Portland Max (light rail) costs about $40.00 per ride.......with a ticket
price of around $2.00. Other than having zero riders at actual cost how
does one justify such a subsidy? Rod
