[quote=Anonymous]People that take public transportation like Metro get HUGE subsidies from taxpayers. I am not talking about the transit subsidies as part of benefits, senior fares, etc. I am talking about actual cost of a ride compared to what's paid. It's on the order of $8 a ride over the fare for Metro. Fares cover just 22% of operating costs for Metro [Metro proposed budget 2026]. Then of course we pretend capital costs are paid by the tooth fairy. That's part of why "Free bus rides" are easy to promise. That fare is just a drop in the money pit.[/quote]
