Albuquerque, NM, has become the largest U.S. city to permanently make public transportation free for everyone. The city found that fares didn’t cover the administrative fees, so they actually save money by making public transportation free.
@CRGonzalez I wish we'd do this in NYC. We could save the ~$150 million we spent on paying police to catch people who committed ~$100,000 worth of fare evasion last year.
