This is the way to do it. Public transport is tax paid, one way or another anyway.

This completely gets rid of bullshit overhead like ticketing, ticket checking, payment processing, maintenance of payment terminals, manning of ticket counters, planning departments, billing and finance departments, third party payment fees etc etc etc

Has it helped with the traffic? I’ve heard that air pollution was horrible as well

Is this something new? A few years ago it wasn't the case.

Since March 2020.
