I'd love to know what incentives make this stuff work in countries with pure "public" transportation. There the obvious "it's the right thing to do" but this American (me) sees that incentives work and I can't see what incentives keep politicians, which are human just like everyone else, from syphoning funds from public transportation to other things, not able to get a large enough budget to upgrade since they need all the other politicians in, not get influenced by industry trying to sell cars, etc..
