- josephcsible 5y agoThis turns into an adverse selection death spiral. The people who abuse the service will be subsidized by those who were driven off by them.
- sokoloff 5y agoThat might work in the short run. In the long run, voters who don’t see value in the service will inevitably tire of paying for it. Making public transit broadly appealing is the way to sustain it. Finding competing services to tax to pay for it is a minor part of the overall strategy I think.
