I'm sure it differs by metro area, but somehow "dollar vans" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_vans_in_the_New_York_me...) can be profitable in NYC, but most US public transit systems are huge money losers.

It's quite easy to make a profit from a bus system that operates in peak commuter hours on peak commuter routes. It's virtually impossible to make a profit from one that has a public service obligation.
