I'm on team free transit personally. Yes that means higher taxes, but it just makes sense.

Higher taxes means higher rents/groceries means second job means more travel means more busses means more taxes

It will always be passed down. I agree it's broken and reducing fares or free would serious help a LOT of people but I can see if spinning right back to them in other costs just as easily. Nobody absorbs costs but us

Please note the following:

* All chatrooms are linked together. If you join one room your messages will be copied to the other platforms.

* Matrix is an open source and potentially distributed chat protocol. The matrix room listed is hosted on matrix.org, a somewhat centralized hub for a lot of currently public rooms. Though the protocol itself is free, libre and open source, the deployment of the protocol resembles a centralized service. This may be fixed in the future with the deployment of independent servers.

* Be aware that both Telegram and Discord are centralized proprietary platforms and do not necessarily protect your rights nor privacy while simultaneously giving power to corporations.
