Public transport should be free for everyone, not just students or seniors. I moved to a mid-sized city last year, and the $2.50 fare adds up fast — that's over $90 a month for someone commuting daily. Eliminating fares could reduce traffic congestion and pollution, as more people would ditch their cars, and it would give low-income workers a real shot at better jobs. But I know there's a cost: my city's transit budget is already tight, and funding free rides might mean cutting routes or raising taxes, which could hurt the same people we're trying to help. So, should we prioritize access over financial sustainability?
