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?

    From what I've seen they essentially work in and with transit unions which helps bargaining power for drivers and their demands can also reflect passenger's needs. It's also a bunch of cranks having meetings and being on the ass of the local transit board who their job requires them to please to an extent. The rest that can be done with it is libshit but voting blocs for transportation candidates that are good and stuff is also done. Without a People's Party and People's Army the workers have little

        Most places don't have one in the first place but working with an org to start one shouldn't be hard. It's pretty low stakes/red tape. Bus riders don't really have any loops to jump through if they want to organize. Consoomer rights being cracked down on would never be a good look
