Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

Yes, the State should develop options for public transportation.

we should have public funding for all infastructures.

More local/state government should

Yes, but only slightly and every new vehicle must be carbon neutral or carbon negative if possible.

Yes, but only for environmental friendly solutions and for those who cannot afford personal transportation or are unable to transport themselves due to disabilities.

For right now no because no one is taking public transportation because of the corona virus

No! It’s bad enough.

If only people start to take care of what is given to them to help them.

No, most people who take public transportation can't afford a car so what makes the government think they can pay extra for transportation every day? It should be reduced, free, or just staay how it is.

Public transportation funding needs to come from the state government because needs are different in each state.

Maintain spending but reform budgets to more efficiently use funding

Yes, make it so people can apply for free transportation to get to work or hospitals if they do not make enough.

no, only when it is necessary.

Keep it at the state or even the local level.

Try adding more funding in poor communities to benefit the citizens so they can get to their work and get more oppurtunities.

Yes, but the funding should come from local and state governments

Neither. Only increase spending if necessary.

Yes, looking at other countries that use public transportation as their main transportation instead of cars seems to work just fine and reduces carbon emissions quite substantially.

Keep tt at a state level

Yes, and efforts should be made to establish a high-speed rail or transit system.

Let the local government and states decide. And use local dollars.

Leave it to states and local governments

Yes, but with the long-term goal of funding more environmentally friendly modes of transportation

In high populated areas where traffic may be slow could have more transportation. But only things like rentable bikes and scooters.

Maybe after the pandemic.

Yes because, covid is happening during 2020

No, I am satisfied with how the funding for public transportation is going

Yes, but only to low income areas or particularly in need of public transportation

No they should keep the spending as is

Not informed enough on this subject but I think its up to the state to decide that.

No, it's going to be expensive for other people

Yes, but the state government should determine the funding

depends on where it is happening

It should be regulated county by county.

Yes, we need to repair the wear on the transportation systems in major cities like New York. However, in the future, we should look for other ways for public transportation other than subways or buses, possibly a motor-rail or something electronic or powered from renewable energy.

I am neither opposed nor for it.

depends on if its needed

No, keep it at the state level

Telling government to spend more money is usually a bad idea. Instead, we should ask ourselves how do we create a transportation system that is equitable, modern and built around sustainable modes of transportation and sustainable energy. Then, we get the price tag from there and look at it in terms of a long-term investment with an eventual ROI.

Yes, but this is a local issue.

Increase public spending on existing public transportation infrastructure (repair, maintain, replace)

as long as people pay when they use it so it helps cover the cost

Yes, this will help those who are low-income to get around

Short answer: Yes, but preferably privatize it.

Long answer: Where I used to live, it took 2 hours to go by bus where it would take 30 minutes to go by car. So yes, public transportation needs to be improved. People need buses to get to work affordably, since having to walk limits their job choices and takes away time from work, family, and sleep. So if we do not have buses, then people will not be able to go to work, and that will be terrible for them and for the economy overall. So if the government does not privatize it, then yes, they should increase spending on transportation, or find a…  Read more way to make sure the money is used more efficiently so they don't need more money. But it should really be privatized, as companies will keep it cheap to get more people using it and will improve service to be competitive, and it will be one less (major) thing for the government to spend money on. We should prioritize getting out of debt.

Yes, but only major high-speed railways and space travel

Yes, it will help those who are low-income to get around

Yes, and we should privatize more public transportation systems.

Yes; nationalize the industry and make all public transportation free.

Not right now, but once the deficit is reduced then yes.

Regardless, this should be decided at the state and local level.

This is a local issue, but yes.

Yes; socialize the industry and make all public transportation free.

No, this should be decided at the state and local level.

Yes, by the local governments.

Yes because this can benefit , homeless who want to try to get themselves ready , t can also help an already business person being on time , ready maybe even a pay raise .

Yes, but let state and local governments to decide.

The government should fund both public and private transportation services more.

Depending on the area of the nation would depend on whether public transportation is necessary.

Not at the moment due to Covid-19, but something to look forward to in the future

Yes and no, state usually allows outdated equipment to stay on the roads because the lack of needed maintenance and upgrading. Private usually can keep cost down and have a lot more in-house, but usually doesn’t invest in city buses or local subways.

Yes and no, state usually allows outdated equipment to stay on the roads because the lack of wanting to upgrade and/or needed maintenance. Private usually can keep cost down and have a lot more in-house, but usually doesn’t invest in city buses or local subways.

Public transportation should be free but I do not want to pay more in taxes.

Yes, but it should be cost effective

We should have nationwide rail service and free transport in cities.

Should be decided on state level.

We should have a better rail network between the major cities and better public transport in the individual states.

Yes, but it should be a municipality issue

Yes, but only if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions. Every state needs to have public transport options for those who cannot afford cars.

Yes but only for daily use, pick up and drop off same place and time.

yes, but only in needed or over populated places

Most likely people who use public transportation are poor and cannot afford a car i use a bus because i live far away and it wouldn't be fair to others

No, we already have Uber and Lyft you weirdos!! Buses are full of homeless sickos and perverts.

Increase price of regular transport, and lower prices of environmentally friendly transportation systems.

Yes, but once the deficit is in check

Yes; provide more free public transportation and reform our infrastructure as to limit our dependency on automobiles in favor of trains, subways, etc.

Yes, provide more free public transportation; and invest in cleaner alternatives to air travel, such as high-speed rail

yes, if the funding includes making driving harder for humans and easier for robot cars to speed up and make the roads safer.

No, it's expensive enough and people have places to be.

No, public transportation spending should be adjusted on the state and local level

Yes, add more free and environmentally friendly forms of public transportation.

Yes but only in areas of high demand for public transportation and should be monitored on a local level

No, public transportation spending should be handled on the state and local level

The federal government should only be involved when State lines are crossed

This should be up to state and local municipalities.

yes to make it more clean

No, it should be handled at the state and local levels

No, we have more important things to worry about

There is enough transportation for the average citizen to get to point A to point B. This is more a individual matter, so no.

No, but the government should encourage sustainable means of transportation (walking, cycling, etc.)

Yes, but only by reallocating funds from other government expenses, whether that would be from military, medicare, social security, etc, but not in an excessive amount to where it dramatically impacts those categories.

Yes, but it should be the responsibility of local and state governments.

Yes, they should increase spending on public transportation. They also need more free transportation for people like college students, homeless people, and poor people so they have transportation.

depends on how far you are going and where you are going

Yes, It depends on the location. Federal government may assist states or local communities in funding to maintain some public transportation - i.e. old subway systems.

Yes, especially for high-speed rail projects.

Yes, but let state and local governments decide.

Yes, but only state and local governments should fund public transportation and current budget should be reallocated towards fixing and improving stations, trains, buses etc.

Yes, as it reduces Co2 emissions and helps people everywhere to get around

Yes, but only state and local governments should have the responsibility to fund public transportation, and current budget should be reallocated towards fixing and improving stations, trains, buses etc.
