Most people drive because the service is not useful. Take your free fares for the rich and use the money instead to give them service so good they will use it. Sure some will drive no matter what but most drive because transit isn't useful for their trips. Since money isn't the limit in the first place free won'tiget them to ride.

    I don't think it's crazy to think a previously pay service will see some degree of increase in isership if it becomes free. Maybe it would be a little, maybe it would be a lot. That's why estimating the cost savings is hard.
