They don't seem mutually exclusive to me. Let's do both.
If I could pick one, it would be transit.
I think your 'transit blinders' are on a little too tight. Sure, the jobs in expansion are fleeting -- as are any infrastructure improvement. I don't like 'prevailing wage' laws -- but I'm sure they'll be used here to ensure happiness for the union management.
But that's beside the point. The jobs aren't from a little bit of improvement work -- but from the results. Fewer delays traversing the city or passing through. When you do transit [[and transportation) right, you plant the seeds for private sectory jobs in the future.
