As bad as they are to ride now, they’ll be even worse & more dangerous if no one has to pay.

Just about every city in modern Asia has clean, on time public transit because it costs money to ride. It may not be expensive, but everyone pays something. I’ve used such systems in Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, Osaka, Kobe and elsewhere. Anyone who tries to use them as toilets or sleeping lounges would be taken off so fast that your head would spin.

Good point. There is an amusement park about ten miles from me. It had free admission. You just paid for the rides you rode on. Well, that place became thug and bum central. Not child-friendly at all.

So the park did the sensible thing. It started to charge admission. Things have since calmed down a bit.
