Yes, Public Transportation is essential its more sustainable than cars, not saying I don't like cars, and it will actually be more helpful to our city and surrounding cities and even states to travel on a more affordable and faster level like trains.
In 2019, the New York City Subway system required nearly $17 billion in operating expenses, which was heavily subsidized by taxpayers. The increased spending did no lead to improved services. Between 1996 and 2015, despite a 25% increase in spending, the U.S. public transit saw a decrease in ridership by about 6%.

That is because US public transportation is highly inefficient due to car dependency. Cars aren't bad, but relying on them creates problems. We need to give people viable alternative transportation options.

I am also of the belief that free college should be an option given to all potential students as every individual has the right to have resources to better their qaulity of life or simply be able to pursue an education because they want to.
@9H83MWG4mos4MO
You do have the right to have resource to better your quality of life. This resource is called a job. It is very much possible to go to an in state college and live at home while working and still be debt free afterward. Even not debt free almost everyone still has a chance to pursue education if they want to.
