No, it would be terrible. Like I've said, I've used the best public transportation system in the world and it's fucking terrible. At the time it was only white people using it and it was still terrible. Tragedy of the commons is the downfall of public anything be it transportation, healthcare, parks, etc.. Basically the majority of people don't give a shit because they think "they don't have to pay for it." Reality check, they fucking do. Pack on a bunch of freeloaders that don't contribute and shit gets far worse. You think anyone in any rioting videos pays any sort of income tax? Free/communal shit will always be abused because people think "I don't have to pay for it!"

Light rail in CA will never be good because it's a monopoly on transportation owned by the state.

In before the Japanese subway. I haven't used it, but being packed in like that sounds awful. I'll take my car that seats a few over that sardine can.
