@rail_ The idea of tickets for public transport itself is wrong-headed.

@flesh If want to reduce public transport to a bare minimum service for people that have no other option, yeah, it is
@rail_

@gorol @rail_ Ok, imma be honest, I'm not entirely sure what you're saying.

@flesh I'm yet to see a place that introduced free public transportation and it worked, please don't mention Tallinn, thay have free public transport only for residents that pay taxes and they still have to gest a smartcard and tap it on the buses and trams. It lead to increase in very short trips (people take a bus instead of walking because it's free), I'm not sure it's a good thing. And city still have to manage the ticketing system and employ ticket inspectors.
Every free public transportation in Poland (that's what I'm most familiar with) is exactly like I describe in previous post. Tickets while covering less than a half of operation costs, help to cover additional capacity when demand increases, and when you increase capacity the demand also increases. It's a vicious cycle.

@gorol @rail_ Ok, look harder, I guess.

@flesh Where do you live? @rail_

@gorol @rail_ My location is not relevant to the reductiveness of your point.
