Free Transit for Riders Under 18? In Paris, It’s Here

Public Transit is supposed to be for the public good. With a %25 fare recovery rate, turnstile jumping is a non-issue as the service (in SF and Paris) are designed to be a service, not a business

So with that logic, why not just make it free for everyone?

If there are rules, enforce them. Don't make the law abiding pay and look the other way for the ones breaking the rules.

Why, indeed? This is a logical conclusion.

Yes, it’s a public good paid for by the public. Making it free would alleviate a lot of these issues.
