What does the battle between investing in the future v. just keeping the day-to-day running have to do with whether the system is (part-)financed through tickets?

I don't see any connection, maybe even the inverse of what you say: Infrastructure needs long-term planning, and having a stable financial framework rather than fickle ticket sales is great for long-term planning.
