Just learned that in Arlington, Virginia, bus fare (on the ART busses) is FREE in peak directions during commute hours.
"starting Monday, Oct. 2, 2023, and going through Dec. 25, 2023"
Public transit should be FREE. We let drivers drive on roads for free, paid for by taxes. Why shouldn't public transit be funded similarly? This is an excellent initiative and test in Arlington!
@jbqueru The metro station near me recently swapped its turnstile gates to a type that’s harder to jump. Like, what the fuck is the point of that? You’re punishing a handful of kids who can’t afford the metro? Give me a fucking break.
