i still think back to the time i was bored enough to thumb through a translink (vancouver) annual report and found that fares accounted for like a third of operating costs (also advertising was a blip); worked out that making it free would be like $20 a month more in taxes (vs >$100 for a pass)

Reminiscent of our Translink officers who just love to park their patrol SUVs framing both sides of the bike lane entrance at a major station locally, so you can't see oncoming, and oncoming can't see you, until they're practically on you. With parking maybe 15 meters off.
