Paris continues to rock it on transit construction. It takes decades to modernize and refurbish a tier 1 city's infrastructure and they're well ahead of schedule on supporting the city's needs with new metros, trams, biking, and pedestrianized infrastructure.

Viva la France!

Of in my city, rip out anything non-car in the 1930's and tell the poor people to buy a car or die being run over as pedestrians. We have busses, but it's like pulling teeth to get even marginally functional service anywhere.

A burst of investment would be like a rainstorm in a heatwave.
