Re: the Feb. 2 article "Tucson considers making fare-free transit permanent."
Fare-free transit would be an excellent idea for lower income residents. They should not be penalized for a few bad apples who abuse drivers and take advantage of the system. One way to alleviate this problem would be issuing a free bus pass to anyone employed. In that way people who use the buses recreationally will help subsidize the service.
