I think you underestimate the resourcefulness of people who learn of a good thing.
Also other jurisdictions would hand out bus tickets. Let’s not pretend this wouldn’t happen; there is already precedent for localities handling their homeless “problem” this way.
Was easier when there actually was an intercity bus system...
