The main reason to have free public transport in an energy crisis is fuel conservation, not any sort of cost relief. If something is free, more people use it. The more people use public transport, which is more fuel-efficient than private vehicles, the less fuel is consumed. That reduces the intensity of the crisis.

Many people would not directly benefit because public transport is not practical for them. Some people who are relatively wealthy would directly benefit. I don’t think either of those facts are relevant, because the policy is not being proposed on the basis that it would relieve costs for individuals.

Biblical levels of greed

The whole "ADHD/Autism/etc. is my superpower" thing starts to sound a lot less cool and progressive once you notice how it's often just the internalised notion that "different" means sick and degenerate unless it can prove there's value to be extracted from it by capitalists.

Like, I'm sorry, but if all your "superpower" gets you is you being treated like a normal person and some billionaire making more money, that's not a superpower, that's resource extraction

Spaceship Ropeway is an abandoned aerial tramway station, perched high on a valley wall above a river. Somewhere in Japan.

Built in the 1960s, it once carried visitors 730 metres across the gorge to a nearby theme park. The park closed around 2000, and the ropeway shut with it.

One rounded gondola remains in the upper station, a one-tonne cabin from the 1980s named Silver, painted green with red trim.
