Edmonton - Intelligent discussion of free public transit

If the main reasons to have a transit service are:

1. To provide an alternative to the automobile
2. To provide a service to those who choose not or cannot drive  
3. To reduce traffic congestion
4. To be more green compared to other transportation modes

Free transit would:

1. To provide an alternative to the automobile at lower than current costs to the taxpayer  
2. To provide a service to those who choose not or cannot drive without cost to who are often least able to pay  
3. To reduce traffic congestion, higher ridership means less cars on the road  
4. To be more green compared to other transportation modes, higher ridership and a transit system used at a higher capacity is more green
