Public transportation is not a federal issue. States or municipalities should address this
@8FBCPP74yrs4Y
keep it at the state level.
@9DYZN5X1yr1Y
Only in more urban settings, not suburban
@9FGRTFC1yr1Y
Yes, and provide affordable public transportation
@9D3RPBQ1yr1Y
Yes, and provide more free public transportation and spend on environmentally friendly solutions
@9QRKRNT6mos6MO
Yes, local governments spend money on public transport but varying degrees of urban sprawl and income equality. Spending more or less is not the only response.
@9HWZD2W12mos12MO
Yes, but only if we teach the races that are statistically more likely to misbehave on public transportation that bad behaviour has consequences
