No fare! Free bus rides raise questions of fairness, viability https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/022224_free_rides/no-fare-free-bus-rides-raise-questions-fairness-viability/
It’s not surprising that free rides can juice ridership numbers for systems struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting shift to at-home work. The question is whether such policies are financially sustainable — or fair, given that higher-income riders benefit too.

@TucsonSentinel I'll listen to them when they bitch about the lack of tolls on the free roads they drive on
Why is only car socialism acceptable to Americans
@TucsonSentinel Another viewpoint is that all city bus rides should be free and taxes should be raised to support it. It would cut down on traffic and pollution if more people rode the bus or the subway.
