Should public transportation in America be handled by private companies?
>>70399019
Yep
>>70399019
That would mean it isn't public transit now doesn't it.
>>70399019
How is that going train service going in Florida?
>>70399019
>america
>public transportation
pick one.
>>70399019
The non-lolbertardian answer is fuck no, but I'll let /pol/ speak for itself.
that's a hard question
there are too many zoning laws right now, meaning any private business won't cover an entire area
but government run shit is shit because niggers always take it over

Pretty good actually.

All roads should be toll roads built by private companies. Shit would be waaaay better.
Also, I fucking hope Florida doesn't build the high speed rail meme. The hyperloop is coming.
Either you build a maglev train that goes fast as fuck or wait for the hyperloop.
Public transportation itself is pretty retarded in cities other than NYC.
Public transportation = socialism
Socialism = bad
>inb4 private company monopoly on roads bla blah high prices
Well you're wrong
>Florida is getting a train before California
REEEEEEE
>>70399662
>hyperloop ever happening
>>70399662
Florida already has a shit load of toll roads and it isn't helping with traffic which is why we're getting this train.
>>70399019
It was almost a completely private industry into the mid 20th century.
Most of the rail routes in the country are still built off the old pre-Great Depression routes from the old days of aggressive private railroad competition.
The automobile knocked them all out and into the arms of the state

Hyperloop will happen booooy
>>70399830
Are you seriously doubting elon musk now?
>>70399019
I'm doubtful. Vegas fag here and our shitty monorail was never supposed the tax payers a dime, but once it started loosing millions it did

>California
At least in my area, we're going get bus lanes soon

No it won't. Americans like having cars. Everyone likes to make fun of America's trains, but the truth is no one likes public transportation. No one will lose the dam trains.
>We could have had highspeed rail
>Now we have this shit
Thanks Scott.
>>70400615
Highspeed rail would have been so good
>>70400615
They should make a hyperloop connecting Florida to New York/New Jersey just so we don;'t have to deal with their shitty drivers coming down here.
>>70400556
Hyper doesn't not equal train
Not even close
Hyperloop can probably go up 760mph
It is similar to plane, not public transportation. You are retarded, obviously no one is going to give up their cars.
Hyplerloop only goes extremely fast between major cities in the US. It is more likely to replace planes than cars.
Everyone is still going to drive a car in the city obviously.
I advise you to do some research on hyperloop, I don't know why you are doubting elon musk.
Also cars will be replaced by this in 12 years. https://youtu.be/IrPejpbz8RI
