        SOMEBODY pays for it unless you're saying all the transit workers & bus & train mfrs should work for free. Is that the plan? Let's make it Crime-Free 1st then talk bout the rest. I won't wait up

        I'd be willing to bet that you actually get back most of the money lost from fares in the from of increased efficiency from not having to have people pay as they board the bus or train. Even before taking into account the the bureaucratic overhead and maintenance of the payments.

        Funding transportation services as a function of ridership makes so much sense to me. If it's free, I'm sure there will be a marginal increase in riders, but it'd normalize over a few months.

        No. Nothing is *free* but funding public transportation should be covered by a 1 cent tax per gallon of gasoline sold.
