Ok I’ll concede the point.
But putting all that on the side for a moment, consider this.
Public transportation is not only a symbol of collectivism, but its collectivism incarnate.
Apart from the whether or not most conservatives are opposed to it, and apart from whether or not you are opposed to it, I can certainly understand why most conservatives and libertarians should be opposed to it.
You give up freedom of movement and surrender your independence to a large, dirty, slow-moving machine and you are inevitably thrown in with the unwashed masses, many of who are at the lower rung of the economic ladder. And many at the lower rung of the economic ladder are there for a reason.
Not only do I not like public transportation, I think anybody who does doesn’t get what’s inherently wrong with it on a basic level.
Not unlike roads and streets. Perhaps we should privatize them.

"Unwashed masses?" Scratch a libertarian and you find an elitist?
Not only do I not like public transportation, I think anybody who does doesn’t get what’s inherently wrong with it on a basic level.
"What's wrong with public transportation" in the sense of "why I don't like it" or in the sense of "why it shouldn't exist?"
As populations get larger, and roads get more crowded, and commuter and traffic jam times longer public transportation starts to make more sense. Even if you hate it, you might consider that taking all those people off the roads leaves more room for you and your car or ridiculous SUV.
Assuming that you’re name is indicative of your place of residence, explain to me how Manhattan could even exist without public transportation? It can’t.
