Why make public transport totally free? Using a car is not totally free.
Your car expenses and road maintenance is subsidised by a numerous amount
of taxes imposed upon you. Public transport only recieve, if anything, a
small fraction of these subsidies.
Fine, make public transport free, but tax it like roads are.
You don't get nothing for nothing in this world, despite your obvious
belief.
