In 2013 my city made public transportation free for seniors, a move that greatly increased bus congestion during peak traffic times. Banning free bus rides for seniors during rush hour was once a popular topic of discussion in the newspapers. Most people who commute via public transportation spend as little as the cost of a movie a month on transportation, so people who drive themselves to work are not driving themselves to work because of the cost of public transportation, but because public transportation is too slow or for other reasons. So these people are not going to take public transportation just because it’s free. So it won’t ease the traffic congestion. Finally, What you want is meaningless, it changes nothing
