Almost two weeks after launch of Better Breeze, MARTA Rail and Rapid A lines still don't have new validators ready at enough stations and remain essentially free. But people have not flocked en masse to the system since they opened the gates, so free fares will not result in higher ridership.

Hej Scott!
Count me totally in when it comes to #FareFree #PublicTransport! 👍
However, I think there's a short curcuit in your argument:
When you argue that free parking and free use of streets attracts so much cars that they congest — why wouldn't free-fare public transport run into the same fate with passengers? 🤔
In any case: Let's fight for fare-free public transport!
