@ Michael Perkins: Since when is the goal of transit to turn away potential passengers due to congestion (in the parking lot, during rush hour, whatever)?

Isn't the point of transit to alleviate congestion?

The fact that metro is bursting out of its seems should be a motivation to expand capacity, not to increase prices.

It's not like it's impossible to clean up a rundown transit system. London did it (by electing a very socialist mayor who had no problem taxing cars). New York is doing it. LA appears to be making good steps forward (but I haven't been there). Why can't we?
