Sad reality for so many people in America. This is the “normal” that people want to go back to?

    Abolish fares, what the fuck are fares for anyways? This should all be sorted out by taxes if we’re going to live under a system where we all make money and pay taxes.

    Fares are nonsense, just an extra tax on the poor for doing the right thing and riding public transit.

    I make more than average, fucking tax me already to pay for people to get to work who have to make decisions about feeding their family, Jesus fucking christ. Tax me extra and build more train lines motherfuckers and maybe I can get rid of my car.

    Wasn’t a train fare increase the catalyst that kicked a lot of cool zone things off in Chile? Comrades should probably focus on these everyday costs in people’s lives. For the people that need public transport it’s the cost of trains and for the people that need vehicles it’s the cost of gas. Both are transportation costs and an every cost people feel ever-consistently.

    A chunk of rural America’s support for imperialism is probably their transportation costs.
