Public transportation is not a federal issue. States or municipalities should address this
@8FBCPP75yrs5Y
keep it at the state level.
@9DYZN5X2yrs2Y
Only in more urban settings, not suburban
@9S2PDWW11mos11MO
The United States needs to spend more money on public transportation, in order to improve the national railway system and expand it, so it can reach other locations, improve The metro and subway systems in various cities and help cities build These systems, and they should help finance better bus, transportation within cities, and towns
@sterlingiii 1yr1Y
Yes, we must keep renovating public transportation countrywide until we have transportation to and from each state in this country my solution would be a free transit system organized by Elon Musk & other billionaires creating electric train stations that go to and from each city/state.
@9RJGQ4F11mos11MO
Yes, but the amount of spending and the type of public transportation project should be determined at the state/local levels.
@9PZ2HB51yr1Y
Yes because I think the government should be more concerned with serving the citizens of it's own country rather than ignoring them and only focusing on citizens of other countries. The U.S. government is in a position where it should find a balance between serving it's people while simultaneously keeping friendly relations with other countries. I think the U.S. government has done a poor job at doing this.
