Tax breaks like this drive me insane. I would love to see a good study on how often these work out for the municipality, because my gut feeling is less than half the time. For the company they are awesome because I can just go shopping to see who gives me the best deal.

Free public transportation could result in more people being able to work, or spend money at business, or drive less miles, all of which would have societal benefits…but nah, we can’t have that. Not to mention, the cost of collecting the fares goes away and the transit agencies can focus more on service.
