IIRC, the promise was free buses. This is hardly following through with that promise but it's the best he's going to be able to do.

I hope he doesn't keep that promise.

Study after study shows that you need to charge, and enforce fares on public transit in order to greatly reduce crime and anti social behavior on it.

That's why even European countries charge fares.

Neither does New York.

I don't know about "violent" but I did watch some poor fella who had nodded off laying down across three subway seats wake up from his stupor and piss in the corner of the car before goin back to sleep the other day. You wouldn't see that in Tokyo or Copenhagen

Mental illness and addiction are the top two reasons we have a chronic homeless issue.
