Exactly, the one thing I oft think is when I hear about some metro, such as bart, or MUNI, or some other big-USA-city-metro woes, like NYC subway etc... complain that they need more money to handle efficiencies or some stupid shit ;

I always think that every single USA-based transit administrator, or even train conductor, should be forced to do an internship in Tokyo, Singapore, Hong-kong, shanghai beijing etc...

You want to know what VALUE YOU SHOULD BE _PROVIDING_ then go find a rail/transit system that fn works, is clean, is on time, isnt a crippling financial bullshit on the people... go do some transits in these countries to see what a shameful position USA is in this regard. And you - specifically and personally who work for these transit orgs in the US and are too stupid to even see the simple truth of how Fd the US is in this regard.
