    That is @#$%ing ridiculous. We should be encouraging people to take public transit, not trying to gouge those that do as much as possible. Hopefully this mayor’s days in office are numbered if they’re this dumb

      I’m on team free transit personally. Yes that means higher taxes, but it just makes sense.

        Higher taxes means higher rents/groceries means second job means more travel means more busses means more taxes

        It will always be passed down. I agree it’s broken and reducing fares or free would serious help a LOT of people but I can see if spinning right back to them in other costs just as easily. Nobody absorbs costs but us
