Wow getting downvoted heavily. Looks like a lot of people either never took the subway in a big city or think that making it free would somehow not make access to the subway easier for disrupters?

Honestly the budget would be better used to subsidize transport for disabled people, increase budget for food banks, or build more shelters. I don’t feel our taxes should subsidize Ms. 100k/yr living in downtown Toronto or Mr. 800k home living in kitsilano to give them free transportation, unless all of the above are being properly addressed.
