It may sound strange, but the benefits of free public transit probably outweigh the costs. Less traffic, less air pollution, fewer people killed in car, bike & pedestrian crashes, etc., means lots of cost savings. Paying for it with higher parking fees makes sense. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/c...

A 2021 study from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics showed that 52% of all trips in the U.S. were less than three miles. 28% of trips were less than one mile. With slight tweaks, many of those trips could be done on bikes, e-bikes and other light electric vehicles, and walking.
I'm tempted to listen because I've yet to read an argument about "car addiction" that factors in that the continental United States covers 3.7 million square miles.
