More about the book

The book critically examines the intentional disinvestment in public transit across several major U.S. cities, arguing that the decline was a result of deliberate choices rather than inevitable outcomes. Nicholas Dagen Bloom identifies key factors such as municipal austerity, auto-centric planning, and suburban migration that shaped these decisions. By analyzing cities like Baltimore and Chicago, he challenges prevailing myths about transit issues and aims to inform current discussions on public transportation funding and policy.
