Should free public transit be offered in neighborhoods of color?

There is no such a thing as a free lunch.

There is no free anything because somebody else always picks up the tab.

But there soon may be free bus rides for some people, though, if a pair of Boston city councilors get their way.

Yet, if the MBTA is going to be free for a chosen few, why not in the name of social and economic justice make it free for everybody?

Where does the writer live?

Don’t a lot of cities already ignore non-paying POC on mass transit?

Free transport to bring the rapists and muggers to their victims.

Why? Because “people of color” are deficiant and can’t figure out how to earn enough money in America?

I’m not opposed to some assistance for the indigent trying to get to a job, but making a blanket statement that suggests people of color are incapable of paying for a bus ride is absurd, racist, and insulting. How long will people of color be willing to be treated by liberals as subhuman?

Who cares. Boston obviously has enough workers who pay taxes. If they don’t care, I refuse to get pissed at this. If it were federal that’d be a different story. I can’t wait to see cities declare bankruptcy. It’s coming.

Sure, make everything free for People of Color, and then start asking people to prove they are Of Color and especially of Oppressionism Color.

Pass the popcorn.

How much do they owe for drugs, crime, welfare, affirmative action, destroying neighborhoods.

Oh that’s on the rest of society, also.

In the city of Tampa bus fare is cheap....I think .025 for a pass/token.

.The city has a program where if you qualify due to low income, the bus passes are free.

NO, free transit should be offered in White neighborhoods you silly Bigots.

Free Stuff has DESTROYED the culture. Destroying culture is all the rage now. So use confiscatory taxation in black neighborhoods to supplement white neighborhoods and see if that makes things more “equal” for a change.

I am ready for black privilege to be just like white privilege for a change.

Sure. Make it free for blacks, ten cents for Hispanics, twenty-five cents for gays, thirty cents for women, fifty cents for Orientals and sixteen dollars for White men.
