In Cuba, specifically in the province of Ciego d'Avila, it appears residents ride public transit for free. We never saw any exchange of fare during our walking tour and folks just hopped on and off.
If Twitter says it's true then it must be credible. After all, when it comes to anything emanating from such professional media sources such as Twitter one must consider it as good as fact.

TTC already says they have no money. Why eliminate this revenue stream?
ReplyDeleteThis announcement is also being accompanied by a 10 cent fare increase. So basically, everyone else will be subsidizing the free rides for children.

I don't like paying for other people's mistakes (aka kids), but I think this is good overall.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to see how this plays out. Hopefully the lazy little brats won't abuse it and use the TTC for one stop instead of walking 1/2km.
This will help a lot of lower/middle income families.
^ Exactly!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's who it will *help* the most.
