    Assuming that the pizza principle represents a law of the universe (defined to exclude New Jersey), then the subway fare should be closer to $4.00 in the wake of the period of post-Covid inflation. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-pizza-principle-tran...

    A far cry from "free."

      I think the question is, once they make it free, where is the revenue going to come from. Certainly, all those rides add up.

      I’m not saying no-charge for public transportation is a bad idea per se. But nothing is free.

        Unfortunately there are many marxists who absolutely believe that everything is free.
