This article outlines some of the benefits of fare-free public transit. The money people save on fares will more likely be spent locally, rather than spent on gasoline, where most of it leaves the community.<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The reality is, the taxpayers are already paying for RTA through the sales tax, and from Federal dollars, and the amount of money RTA collects through fares is negligible. Once you eliminate the costs of collecting fares- from the administration of tickets and passes and transfers, to the accounting and control functions of the funds, and then figure in fuel costs and time wasted while waiting to collect the fares- the amount of real revenue is almost none. By returning ad sales to the outsides and insides of buses, RTA could more than make up for the lost revenue and the increases in ridership would be even more desirable to advertisers.</blockquote>
