New York Spends Biden Cash on Highways Over Public Transit
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law directed billions toward public transit in New York, but the state is choosing to spend billions more on highways.
Finally NY is adding the lanes necessary to reduce congestion!

Good, federal taxpayers shouldn't be paying for public transit in New York anyway, that should be left to the taxpayers of a particular city/county/etc. If they want it they can pay for it.
Why should federal taxpayers subsidize car owners?
You think roads and highways exist just for personal vehicles?
The question still applies. Why should other road vehicles be subsidized?
Do you think that subsidizing businesses is somehow better?
Why should taxpayers subsidize the likes of J.B. Hunt, Schneider, Amazon, Walmart through expensive highway maintenance and construction?
The exact same could be said about roads for cars and parking spots which are subsidized land that could go to better uses like public spaces and parks.
I bet you don’t realize how many things in the US are subsidized by the federal government one way or the other.

NY would do well if that were the case. You're lucky they subsidize everyone else.
