npub1z6j9z0wsx2emxewer9ajerks42uzkjcdpxvncl7mcfufj82nssssng3hlg (npub1z6j…3hlg) npub1y98u6vcmvnxz0vt0z6d37827zxwzt7zy3dxzxr60x9sd9awh62mqddfhhs (npub1y98…fhhs) In Ireland we have started somewhere - we have had free public transport for pensioners since 1967 and we introduced half price fares for adults aged 19-23 last year as well as cutting public transport fares generally by 20%.
We need to go further, but completely fare-free public transport would likely overwhelm the system. However we are also investing heavily in improving and expanding public transport here which will, IMO, be far more effective at reducing car-dependency.
