MODERATORS
I have tried to have this conversation with people since high school in the 90s and all I get is 'people will use the services too much' and 'but then people are paying for stuff they don't use' and never understand they are already paying for things they don't use and the whole point is for people to be able to use it.
People are stupid.
Imagine paying money that benefits the entire community in multiple ways, even tough you don't ride on public buses./j
"people will use it too much" is such a hilariously moronic complaint, especially when it comes from the actual public transport agencies themselves
it just reveals that people view public transport as some sort of neccesary evil, and they wish it would just go away, it's as dumb as american rail freight companies doing everything in their power to not have to run freight trains
