Any #ZeroFareTransit is better than none, but if Saunders's five-hour ZFT window is implemented then it'll probably mean the end of more meaningful (and useful) #FareFreeTransit campaigns.

I took the bus to go to #KWVegfest today. Had the most expensive Mac'n'Cheese ever. (But it was good! Mmm, #Sambal!) Then took the #LRT to Willow River Park, stopped at #FullCircleFoods to stock up on cashews, turmeric, rosemary, ginger.
I wouldn't have made any of these purchases without #ZeroFareTransit - I'd have stayed home, had KD, and done without nuts & spices.
So the loss of a $3.50 fare gained some $75 in local commerce. #FareFreeTransit is good for the economy!

Tagging with #ZeroFareTransit and #FareFreeTransit (although that post's reach has been quite extensive without them)

Now that (police #Surveillance of license plates) gives a whole new use case for #PublicTransit.
#ZeroFareTransit, of course. None of these surveillance-enabled farecards. Makes me wonder if the surveillance capability of farecards is one of the points of resistance to #FareFreeTransit...

@merling from your bio we seem to have a couple things in common. I'm totally on board with the whole 'fare free' transit thing.#FareFreeTransit #yyjpoli https://www.timescolonist.com/archive/comment-make-public-transit-free-for-all-4683843
This is. So. Cool. #WashingtonDC is making public buses #FareFree forever. #FareFreeTransit https://fortune.com/2022/12/12/washington-dc-making-public-buses-free-forever/

@bradfitz @rysiek I've been a big fan of #ZeroFareTransit for years! And "Zero Fare" to head off those critics who try to tell me "Nothing is free" and "It'll raise taxes". Also #FareFreeTransit
I'd effuse more, but my #Twidere app doesn't support CWs (for #Politics )
