Make them free for everybody for crying out loud. Free public transport is cheaper for everybody. Cars are fucking expensive for people (taxes, insurance, …), for governments (loads of subsidies, road maintenance, pollution, …), and every car is unused for 99% of its existence.
Drop subsidies for cars, make public transport free, and your ridership will go through the roof, pollution will measurably go down, businesses will see more foot traffic, neighborhoods will become more lively, it might even have health benefits because people will walk to public transport and fatal traffic accidents will decrease significantly. It might even allow people to see each other more.
this. its like so. someone turns 23 and can suddenly afford it better? so many benefit programs make sense to be for all. get rid of the means test and tax wealth.
