The difference between transit and a sidewalk is that a sidewalk is non-excludable, making it a common good. Mass transit is a private good. Now you may consider it morally right to have free transit, but I see it as causing various problems, namely the transit system is poorly run and has to go hat in hand to politicians for funding, and the fare is a political football.The streetlight is also non-excludable, and even more, non-rival, making it a public good. |
