Mass transit cost about 30 cents a mile in New Jersey which is reasonable. Around the country, the price for a city bus is about the same more or less. The days when you could ride the trolley for 5 cents are long gone.

I don't want to see transit become a system of beat up buses that are falling apart. I remember back in the 1970's riding buses with no wheel chair lifts or air conditioning. The fare box increased by 800% since 1975 in my neighborhood but the fleet of buses are much better.
