#FreeTransit
Hey #Ottawa! How are you enjoying free transit day? I took the train to the airport just because. I was not alone.

Explore your city, the free transit way! #freetransit

Hear me out: what if we built schools that were closer where people lived, created car-free zones around schools and encouraged walkability, cycling, and other sustainable transport.

And provided #FreeTransit for kids to use public transit year-round to get to school & camps. Build transit culture
The school board expects about 1,000 fewer students to use its transportation services during the 2026-27 school year compared with the previous school year.
So that means about 1,000 extra parents dropping off kids by car? I have questions.

Hey #Ottawa remember it’s #FreeTransit this weekend. A great chance to explore new-to-you areas of the City. I’m currently on the 11 heading to Bayshore. This route takes you through #Chinatown!

Right here is where I walk, live, thrive. Olympia is my home.

Tired of endless swiping? Me too. Coffee? A walk? Keep it simple—real connection, no nonsense.

Olympia’s got free buses, fresh air and one guy who’d rather walk than waste time on apps. Meet me IRL?

Public transit should be fast, free, and everywhere. Cars aren’t the future—people are. #FreeTransit #SustainableCities

This post is a love letter to me.

#abolition #freetransit
Seems like you could abolish the police, make mass transit free, and still come out ahead.

I agree, and would add that all else equal the ~shift in emphasis from workers riding transit at peak times to people (friend groups, families including children) riding at non-peak times favors state and city governments shifting transit funding from fares to general tax revenue. #freetransit

Ride free on all buses, SkyTrain, and SeaBus from 5pm until 5am tonight.

Make a plan and have a safe and happy New Year!

Well, summer not being over isn’t quite true. Some school started last week, some this week and everybody else starts next week so I might as well be.

Importantly, it also goes to show that if we made our Transit more affordable more people would use it. Or, you know, #FreeTransit for all 
This summer, in a pilot project, we allowed youth to ride OC Transpo for free.

The results have been terrific. In the summer of 2025, youth made about 130,000 trips on public transit. So far this summer, that has more than tripled, to 456,000 trips. And the summer is not even over.

Transit security swarming Surrey Central today. Everyday, cops and transit security hassling people. Checking IDs.

That's where transit funding goes instead of service.

know what I like subsidizing, and would happily do much more of?
#FreeTransit.

yep. the fewer barriers we place on people who rely on transit, the better off we all are. We ALL benefit from more people riding the bus. And we *can* afford to make it free AND good.

The exceptions to #FreeTransit being a waste prove the rule. I was on holiday in Whistler and the Fairmont shuttle bus was not reliable so I took @bctransit.com 4/5 back. This pair of interlined routes is free connecting the base of both mountains, the pedestrianized village, and key residences. 1/2

All I want is a mayor and council that sees transit as a public service that benefits everyone. #FreeTransit

No money for improved service. All the money for transit cops and security.

Swarming stations in Surrey.

While we're subjected to lousy, inaccessible transit services with increasing fares, these clown get their own vehicles to make drink runs at Tim Hortons.

Go vote!

And then prepare the victory memes.

Don't forget that the message to Nazis is irrelevant... Don't waste your time on them.

Instead, tell next years Dem candidates what you want.

Melbourne, Australia, is the latest place to embrace fare-free public transit. It's part of a slow-moving trend that could solve a big problem.

Yep but at some point, which I’m close to, it’s not worth it. Pretty sure my car is heading into its last winter…I’d happily use transit but it’s non-functional in #Autowa #Ottawa #FreeTransit

You love to see the government charge more for parking and invest in a public service that benefits the community, instead of the usual American negative-sum subsidies for car dependent sprawl. Hope more cities hop on board. #freetransit
