The benefits of subsidizing public transit are obvious: less congested roads, more economic activity, fewer cars polluting the city.

Free public transit is just the same idea taken to the extreme.

> 2. Is it fair in a society with more free basics to require more responsibility from the public?

I was curious what you were thinking with your second question, in the context of free public transit. I wondered if that would that be a wash when comparing transit vs driving, affecting both?

For driving you need to pay taxes, pollution tests, fees, buy insurance, vision tests, and take a written test and a driving test. And continuously update your license and registration. All this is before you can drive. And there are road rules too.

If we have free transport, can we at least require minimum rules for safety?

E.g., no open drug use and harassing others.

Rely on holy spirits for safety is not an answer.
