Free pubic transit?

Kansas City, Missouri, has become the first major American city to have fare-free public transit. Free bus service, which is expected to cost about $8 million, has been proposed as a major help to low-income residents who rely on busses to commute to work.

According to City Councilman Eric Bunch, "When we're talking about improving people's lives who are our most vulnerable citizens, I don't think there's any question that we need to find that money. If we want to prioritize public transportation, it's money we can find." Across America, young climate change protestors have demanded investment in mass transit to help battle climate change.
