Metro plans to have operators quote the fare to ride the bus as a reminder to riders to pay. But the union worries it could lead to bus operators getting involved in altercations.

Might as well make it free at this point if few customers are paying.[/quote]

If the union's worried about it, then put undercover metro police on the buses with the highest numbers of violators.  If there's an altercation, police deals with it.   Do that for the first few months of rollout and get the troublemakers sorted out.[/quote]

It would be cancelled within a week for being “racist.”

LMAO "racist"

Why, because being black somehow makes you incapable of paying fares just like anyone else?   The racism I see with that is the soft bigotry of low expectations.

People calling things like that "racist" need to be called out as being racists, themselves.  Seriously.  CALLED OUT LOUDLY.[/quote]

It's about equitable outcomes. If a white person doesn't pay the fare, are they shot? [/quote]
