Public transport unions are very strong in Europe, because their strikes can be very effective. However, strong unions can be a good thing - and if they are not, possibly there are more faults within the system. Maybe the labor rates are so high, because health insurance is expensive, schools are expensive, things like that, which are mostly provided by the state and cheaper in Europe?
