This idea of free mass transit is not as crazy as you might think. Plenty of cities offer free transit to students and seniors. Some systems offer free transit in designated zones or on certain routes. Others, like Seoul (2), offer free transit on days where the air is too smoggy. Only a few cities have gone all the way and done what I’m proposing: free transit for everyone, everywhere, at all times.
