Free stuff always sounds good to the recipient... not so much for whoever is footing the bill.

Here's a radical idea: pay your own bus fare. Anyone who is unable to do so, should get some form of assistance (controversial as that is to some), but most people can pay a simple fee.

God forbid we ask people to pay for a good or service…

I already stated, we could provide some form of assistance for a person who is unable to pay for bus fare.

Outside of that extremely small minority, most people can pay their own bus fare. Why should the taxpayers pay the bus fare of people who can pay for it themselves?

If you want to pay for other people, do so. There are plenty of charities. Go ahead.
