    Busses, train and subway - make all those free and it will probably be less expensive than keep building more and broader roads and parking + you get less pollution and fewer accidents. 🙌🏻

      And people will use them more, getting out and exploring their city, spending money and boosting the economy.

          Exactly. It would be cool to go out on a Saturday morning, and spend the entire day exploring, but you’d end up spending $50 on subway and bus passes. Imagine if you didn’t have to pay for transportation, and that $50 gets spent in restaurants and shops instead?
