Fair question. How can we make public transit fare-free when the buses and trains are already crowded.
Here is the answer. Why are we in this situation? The government can see clearly that more service is needed, yet they continue to subsidize sprawl and cars.
A look at history shows that people have lobbied and voted for better transit for over 100 years. And compared to the increase in cars and sprawl, it has not come close to keeping up.
If we continue this for the next 100 years we will continue to fail. Asking for another bus here, a bike lane there, will keep us divided and weak.
We need a single, simple policy that can unite us.
That issue is fare-free [meaning no fares] public transit. #freepublictransit #freepublictransport
When we are united, we will have the power to add more buses where needed.
