No, and we should reduce current spending

Public transport provides massive positive externalities that are not accurately captured by the free market: reducing traffic, emissions and car-associated deaths, improving land values in the local area, improving health by promoting walking/cycling etc.

If we increase the quality of public transportation. Less people would use car, reducing traffic and C2Oin the air. This also decreases crime that happen in subway.

Public transport reduces transmission, allows poorer people to use transportation without spending a fortune on a car, is easier to access and reduces traffic in crowded cities. An overabundance of cars leads to traffic and a lot of emissions.

It increases mobility of lower income people who can’t afford cars. Fewer people driving means less pollution, less traffic for those that must drive, and fewer accidents. It would also reduce our oil dependency.

Better public transportation services help everyone by increasing job opportunities and incentivizing economic development. Our current car-centric transportation infrastructure will be unsustainable in the long run. Increasing funding for public transportation will reduce car traffic and improve air quality, too.

Public transportation supports all income areas, reduces carbon emissions, and with funding, can lower the cost of transportation, and therefore it benefits everyone a lot with only a small increase in taxes that will save people money on average if more people use public transportation.

Public transportation should be free, accessible and easy to use for all people. Reduce oil usage by reducing cars on the road.

Public transportation is remkarably behind in this country compared to the advanced railway and subway system conducted by European nations such as Germany, or Asian countries such as Japan.

Public transit is a great way to lower carbon emissions while still being able to get places nearly as fast. Public transit also receives very minimal funding as it is.

Car-centric infrastructure won't be sustainable for the environment in the long run. We are behind most developed country's in access to quality public transportation. Cars should not be a necessity for Americans, as there are some Americans who aren't financially well enough to afford and maintain a car.

A large part of the reason China has seen such a large economic boom is the ability of citizens to easily move within their borders. Working in a different city is possible with fast and well regulated transportation and can increase job opportunities and economic advantages for many cities and towns. It can help decrease traffic congestion on roads in large metro areas as well as lowering our carbon footprint. It can save Americans thousands of dollars a year on car maintenance and repairs. The list goes on and

People need to get around and Public transportation makes this easier. Also can reduce air pollution.

The United States is a country built on driving. Cars are a major expense for most people. They are also extremely loud and bad for the environment, and dangerous for kids. Good Public Transportation, even if paid for by taxes, would limit the necessity of a car and lower people's costs. It would also make cities quieter and safer.

Public transportation is an essential thing that should be much more prevalent in america. Almost every other 1st world country has a national transport system, including china.

There currently isn't enough spending on public transportation, and this is evident when comparing public transportation in the United States to most other countries globally, especially those in Western Europe and East Asia.

Many people rely on public transportation in order to do their daily activities and they deserve to have government funded transportation.

Car dependency in the US makes the lives of those less fortunate much harder, and also ruins the environment and overall happiness,

The people who live in areas or are in situations that make it difficult for them to own a car or other form of transportation struggle to get to work. Those people should have a way to make an income. Plus looking at other countries that have better public transportation all over, have better lives. There are also better ways to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuels if we lean more into other ways for citizens to work.

Public Transportation stream-lines travel, reduces taxes due to less road repairs, less environmental impact, and less traffic overall

Public transit helps to reduce congestion on highways and creates opportunities for those who can’t afford a car.

An increase in transportation would lead to more people taking public transportation, less cars, less congestion on the road, and a lower reliance on gas and oil.

Everyday towns and rural areas will be much more acceptable with more public transportation. Also public transportation allows for a cleaner, less air polluted filled Earth.

Public transit provides direct jobs for those employed in that sector. It allows seniors and disabled people to go to doctors appointments,shopping and jobs. It also helps people get to work and be productive citizens.

we should not reduce the current spending we should do more thousands of people don't use a car and need public transportation

Public transportation is a widely used form of transportation as a lot of people may not have a license or have access to a car. Increasing spending on public transportation can help reduce traffic congestion as there would be fewer cars on the road. There are also possible environmental benefits as newer models of busses run on electricity rather than gasoline or diesel.

Public transportation is a solution to many problems that exist in the modern world. Not only can it help cut down emission rates, but also provides an affordable way of transportation for those who cannot afford a private vehicle. It can also limit automobile accidents by making sure the operators are educated and licensed.

I could go on about this for hours. Well funded public transport is more efficient, gives people more options than forcing people to spend thousands on buying and maintaining a car, is better for the environment, reduces traffic related mortalities, road rage, and car accidents, lets people relax while traveling instead of being stressed while driving, encourages transit-oriented walkable communities which in turn bring people closer together in their own communities, and increases tax revenue for the city since businesses in walkable areas are more densely packed together.

We should increase current spending on Public transportation the same as other countries like Spain and France, in order for students, the elderly, disabled individuals, and others in need to be able to get from one place to another quickly.

Public transportation is more economically and environmentally efficient. It is an investment into society.

Public transportation is the future. The emissions and harm to the environment and crowded roads would be easily fixed with less people driving their own vehicles and instead taking reliable public transportation like other countries have.

An increase of government funds for public transportation would be a boon for many Americans, as they would have access to cheaper transportation, reducing the need for cars, repairs, gas, or any related cost. It would also reduce carbon emissions and decrease traffic, saving our planet and time out of a commute.

There are people who can't pay bills or can't vote, or many other problems because of transportation problems and that could be made easier with money for transportation. There are also a lot of kids who don't have a ride to somewhere and money towards transportation could fix this or make it less of a problem.

Public transport is very important espcailly with all of the poeple that are comming into the country and having public transportation is convenint

Public transportation is more efficient than private automobiles, as public transportation would cause less environmental issues and take up less space than private cars.

Public transportation will help people get to work, and help the environment. It is extremely important.

We need to transition to public transportation in order to build a more equitable and environmentally-friendly future.

Increased spending on public transport allows for increased travel to communities, increasing local spend and boosting the local economy. It benefits the poorest without private transport, and the middle / upper class business owners in towns and Cities.

Decreasing efforts to sustain public transport systems will only require more people to drive, and cause the cost of maintaining road systems and expanding them to handle more people to go up substantially.

It helps a lot of people in our society, it gives people a way to transport places and it helps the economy.

This has caused the american populous to be forced to used cars for their travel for years now, there would be so many investments to provide spending for public transportation.

Public transport is essential to better commute times. It is also cheaper, environmentally friendly, public, and traffic is not as bad with public transport only roads.

We should increase spending on Public Transportation so U.S citizens have more accessible ways to travel if they don't have their own private vehicle.

A sustainable future is built upon sustainable transportation and infrastructure. We need develop communities that are walkable and promote communal centers in order to combat climate change and restore a true sense of community

Public transit is a very nice thing to have when it is of high quality and high efficiency. The US is way behind other countries especially when it comes to high speed rails, specifically. I believe public transportation is viewed as a solution only to be use by lower class individuals. I think that with more investment this stigma could be changed and public transit could reach a broader market and provide benefits to more people.

Public Transportation allows the public to rely on other forms of transportation other than automobiles, thus, reducing carbon emission and saving the public thousands of dollars on gas, car repairs, etc.. It would also prevent the deaths of people and allows for traffic to be limited.

Public transportation is a major source and way of life for millions. Improving it doesn’t just help those that use it but others prosper. We should have clean and highly functional systems for our people and others to use at all times anywhere in the land.

Public transportation is vital to how cities function as well as across country travel. If public transportation were to be removed it would only increase the gas used. It would also heavily affect those who cannot afford their own transportation and rely on public transportation to move around.

I think that we should have good transportation for the environment and for people that can't afford cars

Most places in the US require a car to get around and people should not have to pay to buy and maintain a car just to live. It would be much simpler for high-population areas to use primarily public transport like the subway. Obviously, a car is a necessity in more rural areas, but a much smaller percentage of the population would require a car.

Public Transportation is an essential part of society in which thousands rely on daily for their travel. Without sufficient public transportation, society would fail as people wouldn't have travel options to jobs and other events.

Cities and public space should belong to people, not cars. With better public transport, less people take the car. Meaning less pollution and a ton of free space, as 100-lane highways will no longer be needed. Furthermore, public transport is, in most instances, faster and more efficient.

Public Transportation reduces the global warming the traffic and also helps people who can't buy a car

Public transportation would allow for many more people to have access to better jobs, as well as making cities safer, more clean, and decreasing carbon emissions.

People need to get places. There may be some who are low income and this is the only way for them to get to their jobs, and then further help their family be stable. This is the only way to get to places to earn money for many.
