I’m entirely in favor of raising the foundation of the social fabric, it just bugs me when busses are portrayed poorly when they’re underfunded, and made to seem as if they’re only a poverty choice.
It’s probably by design to stigmatize charity and public policy, and brew the sort of hyperindividualized culture that sees no problem with policies that range from “inadequate” to “truly inhumane.”
It’s true “thinking buses are for poor people” could lead to underfunded buses. But that leads to questions about why underfunding resources for the needy is some people’s default presumption.
