@ilumium One of the rare (and wonderful) cases of #freepublictransport that I am aware of here. Enjoy sunny Amsterdam though!

Me stepping on a ferry in #Amsterdam and asking a local "Excuse me, where can I buy a ticket?"
That's it, that's the joke.

"Free public transport in Victoria appears to have had some effect in shifting demand away from cars, but the difference compared to NSW – where fares remained unchanged – is modest rather than dramatic....the relatively small difference between Victoria, where public transport was free, and NSW – where fares remained unchanged – suggests price is not the main constraint on mode shift. Access, travel time, service reliability and the ability to make specific trips appear to matter more."

The Luxon Government is choosing roads over people and oil over our future. Making public transport free is the fastest way to slash emissions, ease the cost-of-living crisis, and stop our dependency on expensive, dirty fuels.
Sign the petition calling on Christopher Luxon to make public transport free - NOW!

🎉 Wow, hold the presses! Iowa City made its #buses #free and apparently solved all urban traffic woes overnight—because who knew people might use free stuff? 🚍💨 Meanwhile, the rest of the article is just NYT's typical JavaScript and adblock dance, because reading is overrated. 🙄

#NewYorkCity already has a #history of #FreePublicTransport and #CityRunGroceryStores , and a #socialist mayor named #FiorelloLaGuardia (who I found out was Italian 🇮🇹 and Jewish✡️) -
Another positive of Queensland's 50 cent fares is that I don't have to bike all 15 km to work, if for whatever reason (health/time/weather etc), I can't/don't want to, on any given day, and I don't have to use PT all the way. I can skip the bus part, leave home 10 minutes later, ride the bike 5 km to the station, pay $0.50, get on a train with my bike, and still make it to the office about 10 minutes earlier if I rode the whole way.

Montpellier introduced free public transport to combat the climate crisis and to ease the cost of living for its residents. Public transport usage in Montpellier has increased by a third after it was made free one year ago, new figures reveal.

Just started my day in Luxembourg by taking a bus to the city. Why is a bus special you may ask? In Luxembourg all public transport is actually public, as it is free of charge! Truly a civilized country. Let’s up that with some clean nuclear energy ⚛️ :_nuclear_yes_please_:

I recently moved to Los Alamos, a twon with free public transportation. Not surprisingly, busses are full at rush hours with people commuting to work.
We should have more free, reliable public transportation to conveniently commute to work.

A good CityMoose video about the free public transport experiment in Perth, Australia and about the costs and benefits of free public transport in general:
Note: the script and the video clips are good, but I am not fond of that accent (is that an AI generated posh English?) and the character looks AI generated and is not really necessary. If it's not AI, sorry mate.

From 21 December 2023 public transport in Montpellier, France is free for all residents.
4 tram lines, 42 bus lines. Population of the city proper is 300k, urban area: 466k, metro 813k.
Are the 59 bike share stations (750 bikes) included?

@glennf
I can see why he's dabbling in modeling: he's got great hair and jawline! Thanx for sharing the article. PS why not make public transit free for everyone? No need for costly turnstiles, ticket machines, fare collectors, transit cops hunting for fare evaders, the whole bureaucracy required for fare collection. And it would reduce cars on the road way more than subsidizing electric cars.

@agreenberg was the method “vote socialist”?
#FreePublicTransport would be handy right now for reducing cars and emissions

@helenczerski so very very very much this.
There's a programme on the TV about electric cars, and how there aren't enough charging points. Totally missing the point.
We need low carbon transport infrastructure and #FreePublicTransport, simple as
The whole #ULEZ fiasco is about the *injustice* of penalising poor car owners. Give people alternatives so they don't need cars.

•Free public transport is just the best idea ever. The free trains in Spain have really cut through to people who don't typically care about politics, and has drastically improved the lives of the many who must commute by train to work daily, saving hundreds.
Free public transport is a perfect example of:

Stavanger in Norway makes all public transport - buses, ferries and trains - free to use, aiming to get 70% of people out of cars https://e24-no.translate.goog/naeringsliv/i/dwPR0O/gratis-buss-baat-og-tog-i-stavanger?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp #FreePublicTransport

Great to see a group advocating for something PBP has been saying for a long while.
Free public transport.
If we want to encourage people to use public transport, why not make it the easiest option by making it free?
Then where there isn't the viable option, invest in it.
