[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a 100% taxpayer subsidized bus network will be more prone to service reductions and route cancellations.[/quote] This is correct. What seems to be happening is free bus service being offered as an offset for criminal enforcement for metrorail fare evasion. They are creating a separate-but-equal transport system where the poor people will be forced to use what will inevitably be a lower quality bus service while the rich will use metrorail - free from having to experience poor people. This is the future that they are creating. [/quote] Incorrect. I can choose to ride either bus or rail everyday for work. I choose bus because it comes more frequently than rail. The rail service is so bad these days that it’s not worth riding. [/quote] And you won’t be making that same choice when it’s free because (a) service will be worse and (b) you will feel uncomfortable. [/quote]
