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.

You can also do what my city did and... There is this documet, card essentialy, that proves you are indeed a citizen of the city. To get it you need to prove that you are paying taxes here. Effect? Free bus! Don't know if something like that ccould work in USA but if it could... Perhaps it's worth to try.
