Fare free transit can make sense in smaller transit systems, but such a policy deserves a closer look when talking about BC's cities.

Not to be politically incorrect, but people who advocate the routine violation of human rights by the state because of a supposed beneficial effect on "the economy" (which here refers to the capitalist class) should be summarily gutted and sold for parts.
