I live in the San Diego area, and both our public transit agencies have the bus side privatized. Same shitty service and poor security for years. Meanwhile, the media labels public transit as something for freaks and losers, which provides a great reason not to improve it.

The capitalist mindset is to start cutting services when patronage/profits drop. The public service mindset is to improve the service when they drop to increase patronage. Ideally, at least. Who knows what the government mindset is in fucking America. It seems to mostly consist of 'hurt black people above all else'.
