You're aware that taxes exist, right? They can be funded through those.

Besides, it's best to stop focusing on money like it's a holy cow ... focus on community and accessibility instead: and that is where public transit shines. It makes everything accessible.

A monetary value on transportation provides information about needed and desired routes. Without such information a PT company runs empty busses to empty stops, just for the subsidies.

The best way of funding PT is a combination of taxes and ticket income.
