the NYC subway system sucks. why can't a private company run it and actually turn a profit instead of giving me crappy service and then saying they are going to have to raise the fare and beg for state funding because they are $4 billion in the red each year? and that is just nyc, almost every city has terrible public transportation. i used to live in pittsburgh and they have PAT, port-authority transit. it is terrible. old busses, long routes, too expensive, and they never make any money so they get bailed out by the state gov't each year. why do we allow the gov't to run our transportation? our water companies are private, along with telephone, electric, gas, etc..yet apparently private companies couldn't run a better subway system?
