You missunderstand that. Mass transit has to finance itself, so it is basically capitalism. Cars on the other hand get a lot of support from the government, so it is much more like socialism.
Mass transit typically doesn't support itself anywhere. It's a net cost for the region / city / whatever that's only partially offset by the fees.
Yea, and in north america we barely build any transit because our policy makers see that and go "how the hell will this ever be profitable?"
They would never apply the same attitude to roadway costs though cause we need that for the economy (but somehow transit for the workers isn't also for the econmy)
No you misunderstand socialism practice do the same thing.
Most importantly you miss-understand what Capitalism is, it is always been about moving money up, not making something that is able to financing itself. Only FDR became USA President did at least taxes reach 90%, loopholes did not help though, of businesses/Super Rich Economic Class/Owners & that built a Caucasian Middle Class, living their best lives, a lot better than 70s-until now.
Where Socialism is about moving money down, & under non-Capitalist dominate country, through taxes & out to the rest of the people, in a country.
Also important to know COOP is money moving out to all in the organization & under non-Capitalist dominate country, through all their taxes & out to the rest of the people, in a country. So yes, it does COOP businesses finance themselves.
