Maybe that should be addressed as well?
Not just turning the El into a homeless shelter or day care to save the rest of the city.

This mentality of just selling out public transportation on this reddit always blows my mind.
Especially with something as important to a city as public transportation.

The issue isn't really the fares. It's the other problems they cause on the subway that inconvenience other passengers.

There was a post here a week or two ago where liberals were arguing more guns :(

That makes sense. The conductors are carry over from when they had a lot more to do.

Any SEPTA OGs want to explain how Regional Rail worked before key cards?
How did they charge correct fairs?

I'm in the same boat. I'm a really good 3.5 and an average 4.0. Haven't played a lot since moving up here though.
I would be down to hit sometime.

The problem is there just isn't enough of them with the political clout to make it fair.
There are states where owner-occupied homes pay reduced school taxes. Talk about being regressive toward renters.
