Ok there's this thing in the new's right now for transpo being free in canadian city's?

Question

some of the nah sayers were talking about well people are still gonna use there cars so it's not gonna help the environment. and they don't use the transpo anyways so it's unfair that they would pay tax for it. the people for were talking (well person) was talking about they can get a tax break on it if they live in a zone where the transpo doesn't even run. and more people would use it and it would save money on roads so the taxes and everything would add up to a cut in financial expenses. but what i'm saying is:

doesn't it just make it a better world? it's more romantic. just hopping on a bus at free will without digging for change. getting a smile from some bus driver instead of some hurried look, looking for his money. those odd events of coming up short changed. long lines

it would so pleasant to just be able to see a bus and hop on at a whim because it's free and nice. ride around. enjoy the city. plus i think it would boost tourism because it's straight up "cool"

Answer 1

Ever hear this phrase " There is NO free lunch  " ?

The same thing applies to operationg a city transportation system.

Who do you think is going to buy the buses, and put fuel in them, and pay the drivers, and repair  them? With no fares  being collected from the users  ?

THE TAXPAYERS. , and that includes people like my self, who never use the city bus system. .

This idea is so foolish that it is hardly worth refuting it.

Let those  who USE  the buses, PAY for their  use.
