The 2015 federal transportation bill allocates $48B to transit over 5 years and $205B to highways.

I've never understood why people frequently describe transit spending as a "government subsidy" but would never say the same thing about the much larger highway spending.

If you don't insist on adding tolls everywhere to make highways break even, why hold transit to a higher standard?
