I think your framing of "advocates divided" on free buses is misleading. Free buses may not be a top priority - but all advocates for free bus rides also support increased funding, frequency and reliability. This is why we have congestion pricing!

There is exactly one way to rapidly cut pollution at scale, save money both at the govt and household level, and do it without federal help. The best fastest thing to do on climate is to just make cities safer for walking and biking. That's it. Every climate person should be working on this.
