Should public transportation be free?
#37
RE: Should public transportation be free?
Unlikely, at least in the us. The reason we don’t use buses has nothing to do with the cost of a bus pass. People imagine it taking cars off the road, but it doesn’t. Be great for people without cars, though.

I think it’s a good idea, but I doubt that it will do what people seem to expect. I’d even add that…if the us gov was going to hand out something free at point of use…I wouldn’t start with bus passes.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
