Fare Free Transit: It just makes sense

There are over 100 cities around the world with fare-free public transportation systems. UGA Transit right here in Athens, Georgia has been fare-free for decades and would never go back to charging a fare.

Why have all these cities and universities stopped charging fares? Are there benefits to going fare-free? The answer is yes! Hopefully, the rest of Athens will ditch the fare-box soon, but there are some things to be negotiated first.
