Self sustainable? I'm not sure any mass transit in the USA is self sufficient. But that said DC springs to mind

Built in 1901boston?
on that note Denver and San Franciso have good ones. or SF did Bart Muni and the cable cars except Lombard Street and thats for a car tourist trap. Hell the plot of who framed roger rabbit hinges on destroying LA public transitBuilt in 1901
The op either doesn't understand america is more than New York, or two the only subway he has heard of.
America has quite a few. Granted public transport is still not that great as america is built for the car. Major cities that can support them, have them . Maybe not subways but at least bus systems.
Phoenix for example is huge, and I can take a day long bus trip across the valley or get a car ... and sit in traffic.
There are a lot of cities that could use rapid transit.
But Boston opened in 1901, so the op isn't thinking clearly. It's not like the entire USA will have mass transit. Some states have less people than some cities .. and again the USA is built for the car, not the train. I couldn't imagine taking a train from new York to San Fran or a bus.. that would suck
the bonus is the tricky part.Have an American city or state with a reliable and self-sustaining mass transit system comparable to Europe or Japan by the time of the COVID outbreak. Bonus - have it all built *after* World War II

DC metro again.. actually a large portion of metros were built after WW2 .. so not so trickythe bonus is the tricky part.
Perhaps our viewers might not be as familiar with other cities mass transit options as you and I are. I found WMATA (Washington DC Metro) more limited than you do, at least on the southern side of the metro area. Boston also has its limitations in comparison to Europe and Japan. Both are better than say Phoenix or Las Vegas but set the bar for mass transit any lower than the latter two and this becomes a limbo competition.Built in 1901

While I agree the presence in northern Virginia isn't what it should be, what the metro doesn't cover train does. No metro service is perfect granted, but it is an overall gem for being built so late, well after world war 2 and has constant expansion in mind where it makes sensePerhaps our viewers might not be as familiar with other cities mass transit options as you and I are.

Are you defining "mass transit" as specifically rail, or do buses count?Have an American city or state with a reliable and self-sustaining mass transit system comparable to Europe or Japan by the time of the COVID outbreak. Bonus - have it all built *after* World War II
