Petition: Nationalise all public transport and make it free for everyone at all times

Much "public" transport is owned by companies running it for profit. It can be expensive and unreliable, making it an unviable alternative to cars for most people. Nationalise public transport and make all journeys free, to discourage car use, encourage exercise and boost the economy.

@cassolotl there are definitely some bits of public transport that should always be free. I can't argue for everything everywhere, but you don't ask, you never get.

@cassolotl e.g. for anyone moving house, give them a free pass for local public transport to try to break the car habit. Particularly people moving to newbuild estates, where connection to public transport should be a condition for getting permission to build.
