Public Transit System – Still a Huge Component of Infrastructure

When it comes to public transportation, the United States lags far behind other countries.

Governments in Europe, Asia and Canada invest heavily in public transportation because it is viewed as an essential public good. The U.S. government, however, views public transit a little differently and funding has been inadequate for decades.  As a result, America’s existing public transit infrastructure is crumbling and many cities are gridlocked.
