What do we feel about eliminating bus fares? It'll definitely improve quality of life for drivers, riders, and new riders, but how they're going to pay for that feels like a giant missed opportunity in improving rail and the subway.

It's not my favourite intervention to improve transit, but it does have some benefits, like reduced dwell times from faster boarding on buses.

The important thing is that it might get a candidate elected who can perform long-term improvements.
