How are you defining the difference between economic development tool and public transportation? The only time when public transportation is not an economic development tool is when it is merely subsidized transportation for the poor or disabled. That is, when public transportation is meant to further goals of societal equity rather than economic growth.

My statement was not made in a vacuum, it was in response to MDE's distinction between a streetcar and bus; it was not meant to distinguish between an economic development tool and public transportation.
