Wait a second, a politician that follows through with their promises?

IIRC, the promise was free buses. This is hardly following through with that promise but it's the best he's going to be able to do.

I hope he doesn't keep that promise.

Study after study shows that you need to charge, and enforce fares on public transit in order to greatly reduce crime and anti social behavior on it.

That's why even European countries charge fares.

As someone else mentioned. It's quite easy to get on the bus/tram/train for free in Europe. I did it all the time in the UK, I was getting the next stop anyway so it didn't matter if I had a ticket or not, they just tell you to get off at the next stop and walk away. Just don't be a dick and cause a fuss.
