Tax cuts like this one were put into the law to encourage people to utilize public transportation. While the intent is excellent, the big question is: will we continue to utilize this type of transportation if we stop the tax breaks.
If we have achieved our purpose, why continue the breaks. If we still see room for improvement then by all means continue them.
Of course, my first question to all of this is: if we can’t maintain the system, IE the rail failures we had last year, why waste our money encouraging people to ride when the system can’t handle the riders we have.
How about a tax credit for those that have a long car commute because trains or buses are not an option. some of us drive 60-100 miles round trip to work. Give us a little tax relief from all the taxes on gas
Yes, PLEASE! Restore this for commuters who are getting a hike in train fares yet again! And for service that is not exactly great (I’m being nice here). We always hear that people should take mass transit to help the environment and to help lighten up the highways during rush hour and yet there isn’t much incentive to take mass transit.
