If you live long enough, you'll eventually be too old to drive. Then what?
"One-quarter of seniors don't drive, according to Statistics Canada. For them, public transportation becomes the main way to get around, according to the Institute for Research on Aging."

know what I like subsidizing, and would happily do much more of? #FreeTransit. yep. the fewer barriers we place on people who rely on transit, the better off we all are. We ALL benefit from more people riding the bus. And we *can* afford to make it free AND good.

What fare-free transit in Orangeville?
If someone asked, Orangeville would have never made my list no matter how many guesses.
Lived in Orangeville for the last two years of high school and my first two coop terms there in the 90's. Loved the outdoor activities I was introduced to (mtb, xc skiing, caving, hiking).

The #BCGreenParty made the first big splash of the 2024 provincial #election campaign with a major commitment to expand #PublicTransit, including a promise of “free public transit, province-wide” that has been widely criticized as being too costly.
While shifting to #FreeTransit for everyone, everywhere could be fiscally and logistically challenging in the short run, BC needs bold solutions to address the congestion clogging up our cities, shrink our societal dependence on cars and improve affordability of #transportation.
Free transit would need to be combined with major transportation investments to bolster local #transit systems and interconnect them across the province, as recommended in our recent #ConnectingBC report. In that report we call for doubling the number of buses in BC within five years and tripling within 10 (both of which are echoed in the #GreenParty platform), in addition to new #rail and #ferry infrastructure and expansion of free transit.

"The MTA’s struggle with fare evasion has revived perennial questions about whether mass transit users should pay at all. Left-leaning advocates have argued that the bus system should be treated as a public service funded through taxes, like public education and the police. 'This is not the way it has to be,' said Assemblyman Zohran K. Mamdani...." #freetransit https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/26/nyregion/nyc-bus-subway-fare-evasion.html?unlocked_article_code=1.GE4.KH6k.NmY5hHuRAPe8

Y'know, if #MTA transit fare wasn't a proxy for NY's War On Poors, then forgetting my credit & metro card (after walking a mile to pick up my kid) on my old phone wouldn't have been such a big deal - I still could've taken the subway and made our school appointment.
But alas, NYC.

Petaluma has free buses, funded by climate grants!
"Previously, bus fees yielded about $162,000 each year, which was less than 10% of Petaluma’s transit budget." (Fares are currently less than 10% of Muni's budget... 👀)
