There are people calling for revolution on climate who will not endorse fare-free public transit.
There are people who take free roads for granted who shout "tin foil hat!" when free transit is suggested.
What is the problem?
Fare-free public transit strikes at the heart of capitalism. Today's capitalism is based on corruption and subsidy. The car system is subsidized to the point that people assume that car costs are necessary costs and not subsidy. Even bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure are car subsidy, but people fight for them thinking they are making a change.
When buses are fare-free, many more ride, this is proven. Then the critical mass of the car will be broken, and the subsidy will be exposed.
Many people will lose profits. So basically one of the main fronts of profits vs biosphere is the car.
