I do. In New York, millionaires take the subway. Here in Houston, riding the rail or the bus means you can't afford a car. There are very few cities where mass transit is the default/ ideal mode of transport; cities like NY, DC and SF are among them. I still think it should be subsidized based on income but not free.
