| Message | The reason is that: A- The economy is suffering from this B- There are people that can pay for their transportation in this country C- It is fully paid for for the ones that cant afford it. Now give me a reason against it? |

| Message | While people may be able to afford public transportation, the issue here is that we want to PROMOTE public transportation. If 30 people decide that free public transportation is a good thing, then that's one bus shuttling those people around. If they decide that driving a car doesn't cost much more than public transportation and is more convenient for them, then that's 30 cars on the road polluting our air. |

| Message | A: prove it B and C: the LSP puts it already on the table: the choice is about priorities: maybe the free transport STIMULATES people of using it, and letting their car in the garage. Probably the DSF wants our roads again full of stinking private cars |

| Message | A- Look at the budget, last time i checked we were 67,000,000,000 below or something like that. I support this bill when there is an economy that can allow for it, but currently our fiscal situation is in no place to give the entire populace a free ride. When the economy comes back and we are in the black, we will re-enact this bill. |
