This trend will continue to happen until the transit funding issue is fixed. The old federal transportation reauthorization bill has expired months ago, and instead of making sure that a new one has been put into place, that should immensely help struggling agencies, it has been put on hold until at least the end of this year, if not next year as well.People need to look at a good transportation system (this includes roads and such too!) as an important necessity. The problem is that when people started looking towards transit, the agencies weren't able to keep up with the additional expenses (fuel, soon electricity) and the declining revenue (both subsidy and farewise) really hurt the agencies. |
