I first heard of it from the transit union here in Seattle when they axed the downtown free bus zone like 10 years ago. There was some vague mention of the bus drivers in ... somewhere in Texas... like 30 years before that.
Beyond that I haven't heard much of it because as I understand it, there isn't much free transit anywhere big.
- NeoTar 3y agoMay I introduce you to the country of Luxembourg that offers free public transport - admittedly one of the smallest nations in Europe in area (2,586.4 km2 (998.6 sq mi)) and population (660,809), but bigger than many cities.
- CrazyStat 3y agoAlso one of the wealthiest countries in the world, with a GDP per capita over 1.5x the United States.
- dmoy 3y agoOk sure, the metro area here served by the bus is like 2.5 million or something.
