We need a government interested in public transport first, otherwise it's just moving it from one place to another. The public Metro up here isn't exact a gleaming story success either, if anything - it's worse.

*Note potential bias as it's an union.

Yeah that's what I mean, it's all about investing in it. Like you say, no point in taking back control if there's no investment, both need to happen ASAP.
