OPINION: 'And think of this. By taking advantage of this conveyance that you have already paid for you can text to your heart’s content without worrying about when the light will change,' writes Tucson resident Steven Brown.

Now that the City has proposed extending the fare-free bus service, some of the letter writers to the Star are opposed to this idea. They seem to object to their tax dollars being used for something they don’t use. One even poses the question “why do all taxpayers owe everyone a free ride?” Good question. One might ask why all taxpayers owe everyone free roads? Free fire departments? Free parks?

I think the two main reasons more people in the past did not use the bus is because it was complicated to pay for and difficult to figure out when and where to catch a bus. That being the case, perhaps more people would use the bus if these issues were addressed. One solution is a public service campaign to make the app readily available. For starters, our local paper could put a link to the app at the top of page one. Local TV and radio stations could be encouraged to mention the app frequently and tell people how to get it. Businesses, such as restaurants, could be encouraged to add links to the app to their websites, which could show customers how to travel to their business.

And think of this. By taking advantage of this conveyance that you have already paid for you can text to your heart’s content without worrying about when the light will change.
