Player Hazel, people who use public transit aren't driving their own vehicles. That's why fossil fuel consumption is reduced.

I think it a good idea. people will be more willing to leave their cars at home and take the public transport. that will help reduce pollution and subsequently other environmental issues

Arohanui, free always sounds nice, but have you ever the saying, to good to be true? Tax payers will brunt the cost!

Arohanui, nothing is free. If there is no charge, the money still has to come from somewhere. But I suppose there are some savings from administration

OshanksP, you're missing the point. fossil fuel emissions are reduced because 50 people on one bus will use less fuel than 50 cars on the road
