If it is free...more people will use it. Makes sense to me. And it is already there anyhow. With zero riders or 100% capacity, it is already there. Maybe they could get high school service club kids to volunteer to clean the cars and haul away the garbage. This looks like a workable utopia. I hope NY. NY. adopts such a policy. It is NY isn’t it.?!
“If it is free...more people will use it.”
And operating at near capacity, they can make up for the loss with the additional volume of riders.
The ones who will use it are marauding bands of "teens" who will have new vistas of fertile territory for smash and grab crime open up for them.
