Cleanup

[edit]

I've identified several things that need cleanup. This page doesn't mention anything about bus transportation, although it is the only form of mass transit in many United States cities (excluding Amtrak), such as Indianapolis, Tampa , Orlando, Cincinatti, Kansas City, and San Antonio, and in't covered adequately in other articles. The section on cities with mass transit seems poorly organized, and doesn't take commuter rail into account although it makes up a large portion of the mass transit system in places like New Jersey (New Jersey Transit Rail Operations), and on Long Island (Long Island Rail Road). The section on legislation is of questionable importance since it has a narrow scope, and the section on "Government support and public deployment" seems slightly biased because it contains point-of-view claims. The article can also have a section on monorails, since the United States has a number of monorail systems. --Apollo1758 (talk) 00:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In what sense is HIgh Speed Rail "Mass Transit"? I recommend deleting that section. --Jmcdon10 (talk) 20:09, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, high-speed rail can be a form of mass transit. Mass transit is defined as passenger transportation available on a regular, nonreserved basis. I agree with deleting the section anyway because most high-speed rails operate on a reserved basis similar to an airline, and the section looks like it was written by President Obama himself. --Apollo1758 (talk) 21:58, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup 2015

[edit]

I reorganised parts of the text and added a more clearly organised and defined list of rapid transit systems. I hope it makes it more easily navigable. AnnaOurLittleAlice (talk) 18:25, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mass transit in the United StatesPublic transport in the United States – Per main category Category:Public transport in the United States, and I think this is a more common name. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:20, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Public transportation in the United States instead, as the listed category was moved. I otherwise have no issues with this move. ToThAc (talk) 19:29, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Public transportation in the United States. American usage is "transportation", not "transport". bd2412 T 19:48, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
