Cities turn to free public busing to counteract inequity - PBS NewsHour

Yonah Freemark:

From a financial perspective, we have a problem in the United States that we have not provided sustainable funding for public transportation, perhaps ever in the history of this country.

If you look at countries in Europe and Asia, you see a lot more commitment to making sure that everyone has access to good bus and rail service pretty much anywhere they live. And that's just not the case in the United States, because we haven't spent the money at the federal, state or local levels.

If we get rid of fare revenue, it's true that we might actually have an even bigger financial problem. But most of the cities that have talked about making buses or trains free have backed it up with some other new revenue source.

So, for the meantime, I don't think we are going to expect a significant drop in the revenues for transit systems.
