How have people organised things that can be done immediately to address public transportation & help force through high quality state-run infrastructure?

seems to me bikers have been able to organise bike lanes and such but all that required comparatively little effort.

how do communists make a train happen without doing electoralism? can dual 'transit power' be built? are there examples?

      Yeah. Of course that experiment was exactly capitalist exploitation after 90s, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be a coop (hypothetically).

      In reality you’ll probably need some mass-transportation licenses, which somehow don’t apply to uber

      Local punks have done similar. Bands with tour vans raising money for stuff by doing Crazy Taxi services. Usually just gets around by word of mouth
