Huh? How is the idea that public transit should be publicly owned Americentric? A stereotypical/caricatured Americentric take on that would be to privatize everything.

Because its publicly owned in most places publicly (Japan, China, Europe , Australia, Russia, India, South East Asia, Africa... It seemingly is only the US & Canada where it isn't

So bringing it up is very American since the comment doesn't work anywhere else.

It does not seem to be publically owned in most of Japan if I remember correctly.

How is your comment connected to publicly owned local transport?

Because public transport is owned by the public (or publicly owned entities) in many places outside the US. In Europe, it is the norm, not the exception, as is the case in many other places that have some sort of socialism/social democratic history.

It's also owned by the public in most places of the US? How do you think the MTA or BART is financed?

Omnipresent habit to turn everything into the slightest personal attack is tiresome

Social media is a dumpster fire of apes reciting memorized experience.

Sorry not-sorry reality is not thinking of you first.
