Cannot emphasize enough the error in this logic: RAISING THE COST OF ROADS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THERE IS ANY TRANSIT FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE INSTEAD, NOR DOES IT IMPROVE THE QUALITY OR RELIABILITY OF TRANSIT THAT MAY EXIST. https://twitter.com/rickyofmontay/status/978639045491339264 …
*IF* congestion is reduced, than forms of transit that run in mixed traffic (ie buses) will be able to operate marginally more efficiently. Others will not--at best, they will take on more crowds, but this is just by pricing ppl off roads, not by improving transit

More importantly, *transit which doesn't turn a profit has no incentive or mechanism to respond to higher demand,* which is one reason why in USA transit cuts are always a possibility, but expansion is so difficult
