Melbourne, Australia, is the latest place to embrace fare-free public transit. It's part of a slow-moving trend that could solve a big problem.

"Unless a person has spent real time in the bowels of a courthouse, it’s hard to imagine how many of the matters clogging criminal courts across the country originate from a lack of transit." […]
Yeah I agree!
It annoys me when other people (mostly drivers who don't use transit, or mostly childless well off transit advocates opposed to #freetransit) say transit is insanely cheap. The massive subsidies for richer drivers in America make it much cheaper to drive per marginal trip.
All I want is a mayor and council that sees transit as a public service that benefits everyone. #FreeTransit

PSA:
if you are using our Freetransit service and your session is down right now because you're doing maintenance: Tough luck. We're currently removing everyone who is not up. #freetransit #bgp #cleanup #newyear
Ride free on all buses, SkyTrain, and SeaBus from 5pm until 5am tonight.
Make a plan and have a safe and happy New Year!

The exceptions to #FreeTransit being a waste prove the rule. I was on holiday in Whistler and the Fairmont shuttle bus was not reliable so I took @bctransit.com 4/5 back. This pair of interlined routes is free connecting the base of both mountains, the pedestrianized village, and key residences. 1/2
Do we have enough people interested in #BGP and #Freetransit that we do another #usermeetup on #39c3?
Is free transit financially sustainable? Debate rages on high costs vs. benefits. Some argue it's unrealistic for large cities due to expenses & funding risks, while others cite smaller city successes. Scalability remains a major hurdle. #FreeTransit 2/6
You love to see the government charge more for parking and invest in a public service that benefits the community, instead of the usual American negative-sum subsidies for car dependent sprawl. Hope more cities hop on board. #freetransit

Iowa City's decision to make buses free has truly paid off! The city is now enjoying lighter traffic and noticeably cleaner air, proving the power of accessible public transit. 🚌✨ #IowaCity #FreeTransit #CommunityBenefits
Glasgow will be the first city in Scotland to pilot free public transit for 1,000 residents. The six-week pilot program is scheduled to begin in early 2026.

Go vote!
And then prepare the victory memes.
Don't forget that the message to Nazis is irrelevant... Don't waste your time on them.
Instead, tell next years Dem candidates what you want.

Yep but at some point, which I’m close to, it’s not worth it. Pretty sure my car is heading into its last winter…I’d happily use transit but it’s non-functional in #Autowa #Ottawa #FreeTransit

Homelessness, poverty, and drug addiction may be the primary cause of violence on/near buses. Has Tucson’s free transit increased the rate of violence?

While we're subjected to lousy, inaccessible transit services with increasing fares, these clown get their own vehicles to make drink runs at Tim Hortons.

Why not free public transit? #freetransit
know what I like subsidizing, and would happily do much more of?
#FreeTransit.
yep. the fewer barriers we place on people who rely on transit, the better off we all are. We ALL benefit from more people riding the bus. And we *can* afford to make it free AND good.
