There are lots of structural things Iβd love to change, too. But the prompt here is a literal moonshot!
This is not a defense of how we as a country allocate funds now, but if the goal is world class transit, we are absolutely underfunding it.

Rather than a list of specific projects, we need to pursue network planning in these places, IMO.
