With inner-city transport, while free would undoubtedly have some marginal impact (and more over time as residential and commute patterns shift) there probably wouldn't be large shifts in use.
I suspect for inter-city, you would actually see significantly increased usage, which could outweigh all the benefits cited.
- soco 4y agoIncreased usage outweighing the benefits...?? I'm confused by the wording, do you mean that in a good or a bad way?
- MauranKilom 4y agoProbably commenting on local transit networks being generally at capacity during rush hour, which this would not improve. For example, in Munich, there is a ~10% cheaper version of the monthly ticket that is only valid after 9 AM. This kind of incentive shaping falls flat. (That is not to say I object to the new ticket, to be clear.)
