Right but "good public transit" in the context of a Citylab article means "spends a lot of tax dollars on public transit."

I don't seem to recall a lot of private roads and highway in the USA? Most of them were public (tax dollars) and when they improve them, politics calls it a "good" improvement.

That's what "public" means. It's an investment in economic development and externality reduction.
