 IV. Bus Transit Division [Mackinac Center for Public Policy]
This appropriation funds subsidies of up to 50 percent of the operating expenses incurred by local public transit systems in urban areas, and up to 60 percent of expenses in communities with populations below 200,000.  Funds can be used for both operating and capital expenses in non-urban areas.
Compounding the problem of low use is high cost.  As public monopolies protected from private-sector competition, public transit systems have little incentive to economize, and the consequence is high operating costs.
Public transit absorbs 20 percent of all federal transportation spending while carrying less than 5 percent of commuters to work.
