Its almost always a private-public partnership. A lot of the infrastructure is built out by the private sector. Theres plenty of ad revenue to be had servicing the millions of riders in one of the largest public transportation network in the world. Plus it modernizes our stations and we benefit from more information. Win-win situation really.
