Like it or not, everything IS "rationed by the ability to pay".
If the city budget does not contain enough funding to pay for the "free" bus rides, then those rides will necessarily be rationed.
Further, if you prioritize "free" bus rides, which are not "free" at all, any funds you have spent providing the "free" bus rides (or "free" anything else) will be that much less funds available for a lesser priority--which will therefore be rationed.
Instead of "free" bus rides, Mamdani could have campaigned on "safe" bus rides.
He didn't.
Why not?
