   Good public transit is used by everyone, rich and poor.  It reduces the   
   number of cars on the road.   
      
   Bad public transit is used only by the people who have no choice but to   
   use public transit.  People who have the opportunity to drive will do so   
   in preference to taking public transit.  Now you have cars AND busses on   
   the road.
