"Transit's not supposed to be for profit. It is an essential service. It has a very important social function of bringing people to work and bringing people to their desired destination," Carvalho said.

And that's the problem. Every city hall has decided that the system should be making money instead of realizing it was never intended to.

If they had a genuinely good transit network, the savings in road maintaince, widening & emergency services would likely more than cover the costs. Our governments look at things individually, its all about how much money is the bus making, not about where its saving money or reducing costs in the bigger picture.
