SeaFury 🦜🍃Free bus travel on the island. Starts tomorrow. Should never end #lutruwita
Citizen ❎️❎️@SeaFury we have 50c public transport here - have had for quite a while
(Wonder if our dear leaders will increase it on the pretext of fuel prices 🤔 )
John Deters@AnnonBudgie @SeaFury 50c is dumb. It costs at least that much to collect, process, and enforce payments. That's savings on maintenance on turnstiles, payment terminals, card readers, networking, servers, IT, signage, customer help lines, driver time wasted arguing with customers, bank interchange fees, etc. They'd save money by making ridership free AND as a side benefit would increase the use of public transit.
@targetdrone
They've made a motza on enforcement!
The bus drivers are not required to enforce... that is done by the enforcement team
Nowadays if you don't have a ticket you get a $300 (I think.. could be more) fine, 1 warning.. no excuses
My old public transport fees were around $10 a day (and I get concession fares)
@SeaFury
@AnnonBudgie @SeaFury All transit fees do is make selfish people happy. "I ain't paying for no buses for no poors!" Or a politician who can say "vote for me and those poors will pay their own way!"
