No, and we should reduce current spending

Public transport provides massive positive externalities that are not accurately captured by the free market: reducing traffic, emissions and car-associated deaths, improving land values in the local area, improving health by promoting walking/cycling etc.

If we increase the quality of public transportation. Less people would use car, reducing traffic and C2Oin the air. This also decreases crime that happen in subway.

Public transportation is a widely used form of transportation as a lot of people may not have a license or have access to a car. Increasing spending on public transportation can help reduce traffic congestion as there would be fewer cars on the road. There are also possible environmental benefits as newer models of busses run on electricity rather than gasoline or diesel.

Public transportation is a solution to many problems that exist in the modern world. Not only can it help cut down emission rates, but also provides an affordable way of transportation for those who cannot afford a private vehicle. It can also limit automobile accidents by making sure the operators are educated and licensed.

Public transport is essential to better commute times. It is also cheaper, environmentally friendly, public, and traffic is not as bad with public transport only roads.

We should increase spending on Public Transportation so U.S citizens have more accessible ways to travel if they don't have their own private vehicle.

Public transport reduces transmission, allows poorer people to use transportation without spending a fortune on a car, is easier to access and reduces traffic in crowded cities. An overabundance of cars leads to traffic and a lot of emissions.

A sustainable future is built upon sustainable transportation and infrastructure. We need develop communities that are walkable and promote communal centers in order to combat climate change and restore a true sense of community

Public transit is a very nice thing to have when it is of high quality and high efficiency. The US is way behind other countries especially when it comes to high speed rails, specifically. I believe public transportation is viewed as a solution only to be use by lower class individuals. I think that with more investment this stigma could be changed and public transit could reach a broader market and provide benefits to more people.

Public Transportation allows the public to rely on other forms of transportation other than automobiles, thus, reducing carbon emission and saving the public thousands of dollars on gas, car repairs, etc.. It would also prevent the deaths of people and allows for traffic to be limited.

Public transportation is a major source and way of life for millions. Improving it doesn’t just help those that use it but others prosper. We should have clean and highly functional systems for our people and others to use at all times anywhere in the land.

Public transportation is vital to how cities function as well as across country travel. If public transportation were to be removed it would only increase the gas used. It would also heavily affect those who cannot afford their own transportation and rely on public transportation to move around.

I think that we should have good transportation for the environment and for people that can't afford cars

Most places in the US require a car to get around and people should not have to pay to buy and maintain a car just to live. It would be much simpler for high-population areas to use primarily public transport like the subway. Obviously, a car is a necessity in more rural areas, but a much smaller percentage of the population would require a car.

It increases mobility of lower income people who can’t afford cars. Fewer people driving means less pollution, less traffic for those that must drive, and fewer accidents. It would also reduce our oil dependency.

Better public transportation services help everyone by increasing job opportunities and incentivizing economic development. Our current car-centric transportation infrastructure will be unsustainable in the long run. Increasing funding for public transportation will reduce car traffic and improve air quality, too.

Public transportation supports all income areas, reduces carbon emissions, and with funding, can lower the cost of transportation, and therefore it benefits everyone a lot with only a small increase in taxes that will save people money on average if more people use public transportation.

Public transportation is remkarably behind in this country compared to the advanced railway and subway system conducted by European nations such as Germany, or Asian countries such as Japan.

Public transportation should be free, accessible and easy to use for all people. Reduce oil usage by reducing cars on the road.

Public transit is a great way to lower carbon emissions while still being able to get places nearly as fast. Public transit also receives very minimal funding as it is.

I believe that we need to invest more money into public transportation as our transportation needs a lot of work and to reduce carbon production it's a crucial thing to do.

Car-centric infrastructure won't be sustainable for the environment in the long run. We are behind most developed country's in access to quality public transportation. Cars should not be a necessity for Americans, as there are some Americans who aren't financially well enough to afford and maintain a car.

A large part of the reason China has seen such a large economic boom is the ability of citizens to easily move within their borders. Working in a different city is possible with fast and well regulated transportation and can increase job opportunities and economic advantages for many cities and towns. It can help decrease traffic congestion on roads in large metro areas as well as lowering our carbon footprint. It can save Americans thousands of dollars a year on car maintenance and repairs. The list goes on and

we shouldn't reduce the spending on public transport as this would cause a huge issue for so many people and would make it so anyone who couldn't drive would just be left for the wolves essentially

People need to get around and Public transportation makes this easier. Also can reduce air pollution.

The United States is a country built on driving. Cars are a major expense for most people. They are also extremely loud and bad for the environment, and dangerous for kids. Good Public Transportation, even if paid for by taxes, would limit the necessity of a car and lower people's costs. It would also make cities quieter and safer.
