The convergence of technology and economics that lead to the decisions and investments in post WWII America were highly skewed by America's relative wealth, which resulted in cheap oil, and cheap land, favoring the auto, highways, and sprawl, and against long term private infrastructure investment, in what were money losing public goods, like transit.
Failure to take a more aggressive public sector role in providing capital and operating assistance for these unprofitable, but very useful public transit services, before they were "lost", has resulted in the need to recreate these systems when all that cheap land and cheap oil resulted in gridlock.......
