America Has Long Favored Cars Over Trains and Buses. Can Biden Change That?  The president’s infrastructure plan tries to break from the past by shifting spending away from new roads and toward public transit. It won’t be easy.  President Biden has proposed spending $165 billion to encourage the use of mass transit and rail.  If America is dominated by car culture and the call of the open road, there is a big reason for that: Over the past 65 years, the United States has spent nearly $10 trillion in public funds on highways and roads, and just a quarter of that on subways, buses and passenger rail.
