    No public transit? Because it disproportionately hurts Black people

    Why is that? Due to getting harassed by controllers?

    Or are you just being sarcastic?

      There are cities that have poor transit connectivity to certain areas because when the systems were designed those were black areas. Some places even ran highways through black neighborhoods to further segregate them from other areas.

      Because access to public transport helps poorer communities.

      And then as the other reply said, when transit networks were planned they would give black neighbourhoods less, if any, connectivity into the metro networks.
