It is a nice bumper sticker slogan but public transportation operates at a loss almost universally.

It is really a problem with liberal democracy. Everyone has different values, everyone thinks their subjective values are the morally correct values and being so everyone should pitch in and help pay for the subjective values because they are morally correct. To not is "immoral".

This circular logic is half the posts on this forum if not talking about software.

Well, besides the big three auto makers buying up all the public transit and decomissioning it.
