It isn't the job of transit to tackle homelessness itself. Their priority is transit... because they are transit. Their job is to provide clean, safe, effective transportation, not rolling makeshift homeless shelters.

That being said, transit doesn't operate in a vacuum. Problems like homelessness aren't going to be addressed by only one sector, because every sector can say "it's not my problem".

Its not the job of government to handle transit alone.
