Lewis backs phased cut in mass transit subsidies

U S secretary of transportation nominee Andrew L Lewis Jr told a Senate panel he favors a phased reduction in federal subsidies for mass transit operations while supporting continued federal aid for capital needs like buses.

He also called for capping auto regulation with cost benefit reviews, citing diminishing returns.
