“It has not only saved DART, it has saved regional transportation.”

Behind the plan to save DART: How the transit agency reversed its fate in 120 days

The toughest part was crafting a deal that worked for all of DART’s 13 member cities, not just the ones threatening to leave. Cities were often focused on what was in it for them.

Only one seat available to the many but the few...
Thirty people stayed stranded cause the Yankee Line sucks just like the Yankees do!

Something Surprising Happens When Bus Rides Are Free

Free buses? Really? Of all the promises that #ZohranMamdani made during his #NYC mayoral campaign, that one struck some skeptics as the most frivolous leftist fantasy. Unlike housing, groceries and child care, which weigh heavily on New Yorkers’ finances, a #bus ride is just a few bucks. Is it really worth the huge effort to spare people that tiny outlay?

It is. Far beyond just saving riders money, free buses deliver a cascade of benefits, from easing traffic to promoting public safety.

If free buses strike you as wasteful, you’re not alone. Plenty of the beneficiaries would be people who can afford to pay. Does it make sense to give them a freebie? Yes, if it improves the life of the city, just as free parks, libraries and public schools do. Don’t think of it as a giveaway to the undeserving.

It starts at the curb. It extends far beyond that.

The New York Times

Man playing country music out loud from his phone on the bus.

I hope he gets home to discover that his dog won't hunt, his truck won't start, his wife has run off with the pastor after draining every last drop of liquor in the house, and that he can't even shoot himself because his gun is jammed.
