"making trains and buses free isn’t as simple as it sounds."

It might be expebsive, but it's definately as simple as it sounds.

Simpler, really. There’s a whole bunch of complexity and crime related to public transit billing systems, fare gates, and fare gate accessibility. On busses, people who pay slowly add to the per-stop time.

Most cities make roads and abundant parking free, there’s no technical reason why other forms or transportation can’t be favored instead.
