We criticize, but I don't think public transit evolves in a vacuum. People obviously wanted systems like Uber and Lyft, looking at their popularity and mass adoption. I don't think we can rely on public institutions to finance the risk to see if a market exists for every improvement though.

    Public transit is good where I live and I know it's not good everywhere but I would so rather take the bus or train over uber and lyft. I only take ubers and lyfts if I have a coupon or I absolutely have to take one because its 3 am and there's no other way to get home.
