      Reductions in service on weekends and holidays are a self-fulfilling prophecy: they run reduced schedules because they expect less travel....which forces people to travel less because the schedule's no good!https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/956575786294706177 …

      A transit system should be operating a consistent level of service 7 days a week, most hours of the day--this way people can count on it being there, the same way that drivers can count on the road being there!

      a transit service that's frequent and extensive enough to be useful for people who have other ways to get around is more or less guaranteed to be useful for people who don't--plan accordingly!

      It is taken for granted that transit is not supposed to provide general-purpose transportation, but rather transportation for the poor and those who can't drive. Never mind that many who are poor DO drive, and many who can't drive don't live near transit...

      ...the flaw in this conception of the "purpose" of transit is simply that the best way to make a service that's useful for the poor is by making a service that's useful for *anyone.*

      Our roads, for example, are much better for the poor who can drive than our buses are for the poor who can't. Because our roads are expected to be used by anyone *as much as they can afford to,* while transit is expected to ONLY be used by those w/o a choice.

      Commercial interests are inherently obstructing our infrastructure through incentivizing what ultimately reinforces gain for the sake of it. Transit as you say isn’t supposed to actually work for folks outside of commuting to work. Proportionally it’s all about emboldening greed.

      Fact transportation can’t be made ‘profitable’ reflects our cultural lack of interest in generating more equilibrate outcomes. Without swift movement productivity becomes less possible in any endeavor. Seemingly limiting movement helps keep most folks at an official disadvantage?

      whoa whoa whoa...who said it can't be made profitable? the whole reason I hype Japanese transportation is that it's profitable

      Yes. I shoud have framed it as not necessarily an incontrovertible fact. Arguably as suggested if twas designed with the right ethic in mind it cld be just that. Pardon me for not remembering that profitability & the maximization of workability are often coincident phenomena. :{D

      Might the issue ultimately lie in the fact that Japan is an ethnically congruent place with values as a by product that lend to the possibility of communal infrastructure that doesn’t lack capitalistic efficacy? Aka ingroup doesn’t see the majority of its ppl as tribal outsiders?

      I think that helps, but that's not the only thing in play here
