Public Transport

Why would it? most people have never experienced good transit, just transit for those who after a few dwi's can't get their friends to drive them anymore. Transit money feels like throwing good money after bad. most republicans honestly embrace this

meanwhile the democrats see transit as getting other people (poor, or at least someone else) off the road so they don't care if a proposal that wouldn't work for them becauseemost can't imangine using it anyway. They alse see getting these someone else's off the road as green which they hope is enough to solve global warming without having to make changes themself

Democrats also see transit money as a way to bring on jobs or art - either way the more they spend on small segments the better. it never occurs to them that cheap projecs can do more and since transit is about the network that would inthe long run result in transit they would use.

the above is a generalization. there are excaptions on both sides (though more democrats) who care about transit. this probably includes everyone reading this. How do we change the majority is the question. you will probahly cry when you admit the truth of the above.
