The Aud

Why would you make transit free precisely when it is under the greatest demand?

If transit is to be free, it should start with late nights and mid day (and none of this “for seniors” nonsense, which I’m increasingly finding hard to believe can be “demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society”).

As a low income senior, I appreciate the discounted fare.

If somebody wants to propose discounted fares for low-income people, we can have a conversation about that, although I would prefer to just hand out a guaranteed minimum income and stop with the mess of band-aid solutions.

But I fail to see why being a certain age should entitle one to a reduced fare, nor even why anybody would think that it should.
