I do think on the whole free bus travel is a good thing for young people because the vast majority of kids and young adults arent running about with knifes but free travel definitely has its negatives.
For example I visited Albuquerque in June there where all busses are free within the city limits. As a result of this theyve become a place for drug users and homeless to shelter from the heat and other adverse weather and have become a no go zone for locals. |
