@bluemoon All great points!

Just one nitpick as a resident of Washington State: I only know of one municipality with fare-free transit, which is Intercity Transit in the Olympia area. All the transit systems in the Seattle area still charge fares. Youth under 18 ride transit free everywhere in the state, which is a start.
