betting most of that is a retirement match from an employer - assuming a 5% match on 300k, that’s about 6 years without factoring market returns

always hit the match before paying down debt if feasible, it’s a 100% risk free rate of return

that’s only true if you’re looking at MWATA as an entity that exists to turn a profit, which is the wrong way to look at public transport. it’s a public service that is partially offset by collections - to my knowledge, the metro has literally never been solvent without needing additional funding.

increasing enforcement for a few years, even at a loss, would at least put a dent in the “fare optional” culture of the metro
