Public transportation is much more efficient in carrying people than private transportation

Much of public transit throughout America is under-funded and therefore lacks quality service. If public transit was invested more, there would be more job opportunities and improved access to amenities. Only funding private transportation will only encourage private transportation, making there be even more private vehicles on the road, causing road congestion. Public transportation improves community health, brings economic benefits to the community, improves fuel efficiency, reduces air pollution, improves road congestion, improves community mobility, and provides an equitable transportation system. Therefore, it is essential that efficient and sufficient transportation is funded properly.
