Re: “Best Public Transportation System, Retired”
You might also remember how cheap this system was to ride. However, the system as a whole operated at a loss. Operations were subsidized by real estate interests who financed these transit systems in order to make their developments accessible and desirable, helping them tap into speculative land markets and spurring on the rise of home ownership. Once the East Bay was largely parceled up, developed, and sold , it made little sense to continue these non-profitable transit system, especially at a time when the automobile was becoming the preferred mode of transportation for Americans.
