Funding for public transportation can help improve the other issues as well. For example, it helps with the issue of climate change. According to 𝘜𝘊𝘓𝘈 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, "Every vehicle on the road releases an average of one pound of CO2 per mile driven. Compared with driving alone, taking public transportation reduces CO2 emissions by 45%, decreasing pollutants in the atmosphere and improving air quality. It's estimated that public transportation in the U.S. saves 37 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually..." (Pei).

Haha, right. More lithium mined for batteries sounds WAY more sustainable. Besides climate change, it should be known that car dependency regardless if the cars are electric or not is bad for city economies and the mental health of people.
