Are you seriously asking why public transit should be affordable for poor people?
I guess they should just buy a car instead, right? Or live in Manhattan and walk to work?
- martinald 8y agoNo, not at all. It is a very blunt tool to say fares should be cheap so that poor people can afford them. There are much better ways to do this, eg offer discounted trip cards to people on certain social security programs (Medicaid eligibility comes to mind). Price differentiation 101. This should be funded out of social security budgets, not transport budgets IMO.
