This is satire, but it remains an unspoken assumption--remember that this is just a masked way of saying "why should I have to do my job," which--mysteriously--is not a common attitude in Japanese transit operators!https://www.thebeaverton.com/2014/01/ttc-suggests-passengers-just-buy-a-fucking-car-already/ …

I maintain it's important to divorce the "charity" aspect of transit from the actual BUSINESS of it--providing service which the highest number of people want to use. You can have soup kitchens and you can have restaurants but you don't usually expect one establishment to do both

Moreover, within the realm of restaurants you have high-end places and cheap places, and countless gradients in between--but at no point do you have restaurants that are obliged to serve customers for nominal (or nil) prices, bc once you do, it's not a restaurant anymore!

It seems the solution to provide both is the government promises to pay the fares of students and elderly, but just pays the fares. No infra or salary subsidies. Just usage per customer mile.

are you saying that you favor private transit? And if yes, in what contexts?
