I was trying to understand how the mere possibility of free busses in NYC was a national issue in some places. I thought NYC was terrible and on fire. Let us suffer.

@futurebird we’ve had free buses in Albuquerque for 5 years, and we haven’t collapsed into the sea yet. But I’ll keep you posted.

@futurebird Free bus service working out would be a disaster, as it would encourage other places to try the same thing. Who knows what other public services it might spread to?
