In an age of increasing inequalities and ecological crisis, movements for free public transit are proposing a profound rethinking of urban transport as a fundamental human right and public good.
“Should public transportation be free?” CBC-Radio Noon Montreal talks with callers, and with urban planner Jason Prince, who’s edited a new book called Free Public Transport: And Why We Don’t Pay to Ride Elevators.
