Years ago during the Bay Area's "spare the air" days, BART and CalTrain were free. The problem was, that so jammed the public transportation system that everyone who owned a car drove to work instead! I remember overhearing colleagues: Tomorrow is a spare-the-air day so remember to drive to work! With the increase in homeless people, I can hardly imagine what those systems would be like if they were free now.
