$700M in free buses means better access to jobs and services, which has tangible economic benefits and results in tax money coming back to the government.

It’s also just good for people. Not everything needs an roi and the economy should work for people not the other way around.

Public transit, healthcare (including dental and mental), shelter, food, water, communication (mail, cellular, internet), social community events/activities, and yes even defense is where taxes should go. There’s enough to go around to cover all of it if greedy mother fuckers would get their grimy ass hands out of the cookie jar. I hope I see the day before my days are done.
