people want their neighborhood to state white and free of crime

Because nogs will ruin your bus, tram or train in 2 days anyway. It would be a fucking waste of money.

Because you're a dipshit and dont realize that our major cities, especially NYC, have hugely developed public transit. Its common for lifelong residents to never learn to drive.

Pretty much this. I used to have to take the bus to work fresh out of high school and it was the worst thing. I can't imagine how it is now that my home town has become more niggered.

>take a cab or uber
That isn't quite public transportation.

>NYC
>developed public transit

New york used to have an amazing public system, but capitalism took care of that.

Because in cities outside of the east coast, they're way too spread out to even assume that public transportation is even feasible.
Also as always, the answer is niggers and poor people

No, niggers took care of it

It doesn't benefit Jews
/Thread

crazy, unhinged poor people/niggers and druggies scare away whites

>Why do Americans not invest in public transportation?
America does invest in public transportation but you have to avoid over investing in what will become a nigger infested piss and puke covered mobile cesspools.

>Why do I need to take a cab or uber to get around NYC or Chicago?
You do not NEED to take a cab or uber you stupid faggot.

As Europe fills up with 3rd world Muslims and Africans you will understand the real cost of public transportation.

>murica can't read

>Chicago or NYC
You dun goofed. You should have said LA or Atlanta

America is a non-white country

the subways aren't terrible for getting around if you live there, only if you're visiting and trying to see so much at once. People that live in the city get used to their little nook and know where to get what they need there without traipsing all over the city. Then you only use the subway for getting to a particular place, friends house in another borough, a particular restaurant downtown, work, or to an airport or something

It does need a massive overhaul and shut down routes can be a major hassle. The busses supplement this but I hate being on busses

Nope, that's an invention done in order to hide the incompetence of the New york politicians.

Because to design the NYC subway system someone threw a fistful of spaghetti at a map and said “build that”

It’s a mess

Niggers prevented this expressway.

new areas don't want it because only the underclass uses public transport
old areas like NYC are just incredibly corrupt
there was an article awhile ago describing how the NYC subway system still uses a weird electromagnetic switching system from the 1930s, and that they now have a few techs building custom parts full-time instead of just replacing the whole system
the only place in the US that I see "public" transport growing is inside the beltway in and around DC

Cities are a massive mix of cultures races people whatever. Communal property gets treated like shit. So private ownership shines.

Outside of the cities everything is too spread out to make it efficient.

it was built by a bunch of private investors that eventually tanked and then became nationalized, dealing with multiple formerly competing routes

chicago is easy to get around on public transit. the thing is you dont really want to because its dirty and gross.

Niggers. They will travel everywhere and ruin everything.

Pretty much this. In Europe, everything is dirty and gross, so you may as well use the transit.

live in Philadelphia and literally forget we have a subway most of the time, never been on it outside the Patco. Heard it's vile, our homeless tend to be more schizo than NYC

>Why do I need to take a cab or uber to get around NYC or Chicago?
You massive faggot...

>Chicago, Illinois

Chicago’s transit system is among the oldest in the U.S. It has been in operation since 1892, when the South Side Rapid Transit began operation. Today, Chicago’s “L” trains form the third-largest city rail system in the U.S., handling an average weekday ridership of nearly 800,000.

New York, New York

Based on sheer size, there is no question that New York City has the top public transportation system in the U.S. It moves by far the largest number of passengers, with subway ridership of more than 1.7 billion in 2014. When including buses, total ridership is more than 2.5 billion.

And (((y'all))) just don't realize how massively bigly the US is.

Nyc subway is top notch and is probably the only mass transit system in the country that is actually still safe to use

Capitalism built that

Because we invest in private transportation. We are independent and mostly don't care to get around in the big cities if we can help it. Public transportation is an inefficient bandaid to the problem of cramming too many folks into an area that's too big for it's britches.

ruthless capitalism helped to synthesize these problems

The cities you listed do have public transport. Most of America commutes at least cross county for work, so they need cars not buses we are a proud nation of drivers

>Why do I need to take a cab or uber to get around NYC
have fun not getting where you want on time, just use the subway
t. escaped NYC

Niggers. Only poor people have to use public transport. Normal people avoid it at all cost because it's overrun by disgusting blacks

All of these. Suburbs were made intentionally hard to get to and intentionally hard to get around on foot. Basically you need to own a car to get to suburbs then navigate them. Unfortunately they were so successful that we now have had two generations of whites grow up in safe bubbles, not realize just how dangerous minorities are, and now they're moving back to cities.

FPBP

Get rid of niggers and public transport becomes a lot better. Still a stinky, rough riding way to get from point A to B, but less stench, fighting, thievery, and niggery.

>normal people avoid it at all cost because it's overrun by disgusting blacks

and being afraid surely doesn't play a roll.

Your system is old and out of date. In Europe and Asia you can go through with a phone instead of a piece if paper.

Only in America do I need to buy my tickets through a booth in the year 2017.

Everything is clean in my country, including public transport. It's used a lot by students (read: normal people), which makes sure that it's not sandnigger infested.

Basically our entire country is as congested as new york, so it's a pretty good way to get around in cities.

>Niggers. They will travel everywhere and ruin everything.
i find it interesting when americans say this. our niggers pretty much never leave their own areas. what filled yours with such wonderlust?

um lets thinks, the auto industry lobbyists

why would you continually rob your own neighborhood?

conductors on Septa and NJTransit absolutely hate the phone tickets, they will legitimately pick on you and intimidate you day after day if you become a phone ticket person

because darkies will destroy it no matter how nice you make it or how much security you put on it

hey look it's a hard working American tax-payer and an "American" who's never worked a day in his life.

True, but they refused to keep it.

At the time the downfall started New York was the bussiness capital of the work and swimming in money, but they found no profit in keeping a decent railway system if you could have a million taxis.

Imagine waking up drunk, seeing a black guy laughing at you and then calling him a worthless fucking nigger and challenging him to a fight.

Would be epic.

semi unrelated question:
Why are public transportation so expensive?
You group hundreds of people into the same vehicle, and yet it is still more expensive than if each person took their own car and drove to their destination.
It makes no sense..

>Still there
>Still relatively intact

That can be fixed.

You take a cab because you're too stupid to learn how to use the buses and trains in Chicago.

bah. I just woke up. Browsing Sup Forums for rage and disgust to get me out of bed.

...

This is about the shape of it. People with money have cars, and don’t want their homes accessible to people without money.

It's gone train loving friend.

Murica is truly fcked up

In Chicago we have a card called a Ventra card. It can also be your credit card. omg ikr. You tap the card on the stall. You're done. You can use the app to add money to it if you choose not to link it to your phone. You lose your phone, you lose your bus card, you're fucked. I like the Chicago system better. A system you clearly know nothing about.

Not to link it to your bank***

...

To be fair, it would have taken at least twice as long to build if it wasn't done by private investors. Also would have been a shit ton more complicated.

Too soon

The problem is that it was abandoned in the most succesful period of the city.

I would never live in, around, or near a major city to begin with
I don't want to travel on someone else's schedule, or sit around a bunch of other people
When I want to go somewhere, I hop in my car and go, I stay as long as I like, then I leave
If I see something interesting I just pull over and then I'm back on my way
Personal freedom and independence is literally the cornerstone of the USA
Our means of transportation reflect this

Here's a map of Chicago's out of date train system that will take you from anywhere in the city and to some suburbs. The trains themselves are always updated, the tracks and platforms rebuilt. We can even use our phones in the subway. In the downtown area, some train stops are connected to the pedway. Chicago’s downtown pedestrian way system, the Pedway, lies in the heart of the city. This system of underground tunnels and overhead bridges links more than 40 blocks in the Central Business District, covering roughly five miles.

>this much of a socialist
fuck off

bc America lets the free market handle public transport bc we dont want poor people traveling all across the country. nationwide bus system was abused during civil rights to move crowds of protestors from coast to coast

Truly freedom.

One almost gets in a Christmas mood from watching that spectacle.

i want to vomit

you need to use a cab because you are weak and afraid of everything. the CTA system in Chicago is fucking awesome.

Chicago and New York are literally the only two cities (Boston and DC sort of) you dont need a car in. OP chose literally the most nonsensical examples.

LA is a cesspit.

>Why do I need to take a cab or uber to get around NYC or Chicago?

you are unironically a subrural retard

Why do you want to live like a sewer rat underground?
