Whenever I see this I think “wow, cool idea, wish we had something like this in the US.” And then I think “it’s just asking for a discrimination lawsuit so unlikely.” And then I think “well we should be making public transit free anyway.” And then I think “until we get our housing affordability and mental health crises resolved, free transit just becomes roving homeless shelters.” And then I get sad.
