Introduction The modern world can be characterized by the extremely high speed of urbanization. The given tendency is the fundamental one as it preconditions the evolution of societies and the appearance of new trends. At the same time, the rapid rise of cities and the emergence of megapolises mean that people have to cover huge distances to reach a particular area or place. Under these conditions, the question of transportation acquires the top priority as people want to have a simple, efficient, and cheap ways to move across cities and reach destination areas. That is why there are numerous appeals to increase the efficiency of mass transit. Background Today numerous individuals use their vehicles to increase their mobility and move from one end of a city to another. However, there are people who either do not have an opportunity to buy a car or prefer to use some other means of transport because of different reasons. At the same time, the gradual rise of big cities and the tendency towards further urbanization precondition a significant increase in the number of new cars, which will obviously become a problem in the future (Patton, 2017). That is why the reconsideration of the approach to the public transit system and the use of specific pricing models could become a perfect solution to the problem of transportation in big cities (Patton, 2017). Additionally, mass transit has several advantages which make it more attractive to the population and justifies the need for its improvement. Environmental Concerns Among the factors impacting Americans preferences and the use of mass transit environmental issues hold leading positions. The fact is that a significant shift in peoples mentalities can be admitted today. The critical deterioration of the environment is to a greater degree associated with the increase in vehicles in big cities (McMahon, 2013). The use of public transport can be considered one of the possible solutions to the problem (Patton, 2017). That is why Americans might prefer using mass transit to avoid unnecessary emissions and contribute to the improvement of the environment. Congestion The second factor affecting peoples choice is the increased number of traffic congestions and numerous problematic issues related to it. All big cities face this problem because of overpopulation and the growing number of private vehicles (Ceder, 2015). The growth of peoples well-being and the introduction of affordable automobiles stipulate the appearance of numerous cars in megapolises streets. For this reason, during rush-hours people suffer from the inability to reach particular places because of traffic jams (Ceder, 2015). In this regard, the use of the public transit system becomes an appropriate alternative for them regarding the lack of time and the necessity to avoid lateness. Affordability Finally, another factor that might stipulate the choice of the public transit system is its affordability and broad coverage. The fact is that despite the tendency towards the gradual increase in the number of cars across the population there are still categories that are not able to afford their private vehicle (Abdallah, 2017). In such a way, public transit becomes the only available method to reach destination points (Abdallah, 2017). At the same time, the developed public transportation system peculiar to some cities, especially old ones, provides individuals with an opportunity to move to areas
