[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] How much would Metro cost without subsidies? It would still be substantially more expensive than traveling a similar distance by car if roads were not subsidized. The fare would probably be a totally ridiculous. People forget that the streetcars went bankrupt. They just think they disappeared only through some Detroit conspiracy. [/quote] The streetcars went bankrupt because it took them forever to get anywhere because of the cars on the street. Just like buses now. Buses would be a lot faster if they had their own dedicated lanes. Meanwhile, the approved tolls for just the toll lanes were $3-5 for 7 miles.[/quote]
