fare-free transit initiatives

Fare-free transit initiatives remove ticket costs for bus, train, or other public transportation services, making travel accessible to everyone regardless of income. This approach aims to reduce financial barriers, encourage more people to use public transit, decrease traffic congestion, and lower pollution. Cities implement these programs through government funding or partnerships, often targeting specific groups or areas to promote equitable access. The goal is to improve mobility, support economic growth, and create more sustainable, inclusive communities without the need for passengers to pay fares.
