Gregor Robertson fare evasion interview with GlobalTV

[j0rd]

Ordinary citizens don't pay fines, they give transit cops fake names.

If public highways are free, and public parks are free, then why not public transit?

[eugene680]

Could you imagine having a minimum wage job and paying a 3 zone ticket, $5.00 one way to go to work and $5.00 to go home? You have to work an extra hour just to cover the travel of keeping a job and going home.

@eugene680 yes but if you had to commute multiple days you would just get either a monthly or yearly pass which in turn would work out to a lower daily fee

[hillmer6]

@jackiechan511 true but it costs more to take care of public transit compared to the other two public sectors
