Absolutely. We already have them--public transportation is already subsidized--but IMHO they should be free to the rider.

@nobilis @humantransit It should not be free, because you cannot subsidize not using public transportation (or using it less). Instead of subsidies, the Polluter pays principle should be applied. All forms of transports should be pro rata taxed based on pollution.

@bart @nobilis @humantransit 👍 Don't tax citizens and then give it back to those not harming the environment. Tax activities that harm the environment. People will find creative ways for people to do all the things they love (travel, heat lots of living space, have fun toys, etc) without damaging the environment.
