LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: Making Metro free is taking a good idea too far By Editor On Mar 13, 2020 Last updated Mar 13, 2020 25 Share THE WASHINGTON area’s Metro system is already heavily supported by state and local governments, whose subsidies amount to more than half the agency’s annual $2 billion operating budget, far more than passenger fares. Now members of the D.C. Council are considering fattening that subsidy, indirectly, by making subway and bus rides free for most residents of the District of Columbia. That’s taking a good idea too far. 25 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
