For environmental reasons, it is naturally a better thing to have our citizens use public transport. However, we see no reason that the state should pay for that use entirely. Those earning a low income are of course a separate case, as with housing: |

Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
