well yes and no yes where I'm at they keep raising the fare ( NYC) and it is starting to get expensive ...but as long as the people that get us their and back or still getting paid i wouldn't have NO problem with it being free but if they cut those peoples pay then i would rather pay for public transportation because they won't make enough to survive out here if it would be free the government would try to cut their pay or our pay and raise up something else like more rent or something (even though they are doing that anyways)

No. The government shouldn't spend extra money for free public transport. Money should spend more on health, education, roads, disabled, elderly etc., etc

It can't ever be free. It gets paid for by tax payers one way or another. The way its set up actually works pretty well. There are a lot of discounts, at least where I live in Los Angeles, for seniors and people with low incomes.

There is no free lunch!!!!!!!! Who pays the taxes, you do, why do you want to give free rides to everyone? Be responsible and pay your own way don't look for someone else to bail you out or worse suck from the tax payers tit. I say make it a private company and take the government out!

No, it's still a private business. If it were the Government doing it , then yes, but we would still be paying for it threw more taxes . So it wouldn't be free anyhow.

public transit is a large concept, i agree. no longer purely is it solid for the ambience and international warming, yet think of of what proportion injuries and site visitors we'd be combating!!! plus i definitly think of a large style of human beings could be into it, b/c all of us comprehend this is this type of soreness to pay gas/diesel expenses, and why pay to your guy or woman automobile and purchase one once you will be able to desire to easily bounce on the Metro or some thing? it could be sooo beneficial! :D

It would be nice. Save on greenhouse gas emissions. But imagine how many more buses, trains, trams we'd need. Would the cities be able to cope?

no. without the revenue, the transit system would fall apart fast. the government already gives tax funds to the transits systems which is never enough.

no, it should be accessable and affordable, but not free.
and in the case of the U.S., it should be waaaaay more prolific and accessable, I lived in Germany for several years and am asshamed of the public transport systems we have in place in most of America

No, but they should be at a minimal fee not like in NYC where it's $2.00 for a bus ride, subway etc.
