40% of their funding is via the city… they spend so much to get people to pay. I say we just make it free. I honestly think it would save them money.

Id share sources but im lazy and it wont do anything

*regional rail can still charge ig

Edit: source https://www.commonwealthfoundation.org/2016/11/07/who-pays-for-septa/ 40% not most from state

I’d rather it be safe then free. Monetarily as it relates to the MFL not as a general sentiment lol. Safety is a part of freedom too though

I do not know you but i would assume you are not struggling financially like 23% of our population. There are many who can’t make it to their doctors appointments because they do not have the resources to make it there.

I agree safety is part of freedom. I think we can do both like over 100 cities have already implemented throughout the country.
