Yeah yeah yeah... it's against a lot of my personal macroeconomic theory, but I want to learn more about the idea of free public transportation for all. On the face of it, I think it is a great idea. Just think of the issues of parking, environment, getting places, exploration, exposure, saving money, and more.
"Saving money!? We'll certainly have to raise taxes to pay for free public transit..."
Well, I might just go to a few more Orioles games and buy taxed tickets and taxed food if it were easier to get ther (i.e. not travel hassle and parking expense). So maybe revenues would increase w/o a rate hike. I don't know much about this stuff.
Worth the experiment? Please let me know.
I've never been on an MTA bus.

I am all about this idea. If you run for President and this in part of your campaign you can count on one vote from me.
