I'm curious, do you disagree with the point that mass driving, especially in urban areas causes several huge negative external costs? Does driving not cause pollution, injuries, deaths, urban sprawl and social problems. If you want evidence for those things, I can provide sources.

And yes, they do provide benefits, but you again equate transit and mass motoring. Mass motoring has these costs, mass transit doesn't, yet the provide the same benefits.

We *should* subsidize transit, because we *should* subsidize transportation because of all the economic benefits you continually point out. We *shouldn't* subsidize automobile travel as much, because most of the benefits can be reaped through mass transit instead of mass motoring. We get a far better ROI.
