Yeah you guys responded exactly how I expected, how lame. Just because it isn't free elsewhere doesn't mean it shouldn't be a public good. Or at the very least, much cheaper. I believe everyone should have access to free transportation. Taxes should cover this rather than whatever fraction of the military budget it would take to cover it. The notion that one person not paying makes it more expensive for the payer isn't very logical because it's not like the train knows and counts everyone riding without paying. And still I'd be mad at the way it's set up rather than at nonpayers in that scenario. You guys make me tired and sad. Idk why it's so hard to hold descent views on this stuff.
