The muni pass costs $70/month. One year of bike costs less than 2 months of muni, not sure the cost argument holds up. If you are actually using it to commute, and not to hipster around town, it's very cheap.
As another commenter pointed out they even have a program where you can get a yearly pass for $5 if you qualify. I simply can't see this as worse than not having it.
- sidlls 9y agoSounds like you've never been poor. Often it's easier for a poor person to pay daily than to scrounge for a pass. They don't have $70 in the bank today, but they have enough to ride daily until their next payday.
- tbrock 9y agoThat makes sense but why would you be enraged about this if you were in that situation? It's not hurting anyone besides maybe car owners who aren't in the category you mention. I can't afford a lot of things but if having them available improves the life of others why bother complaining if it doesn't harm me.
