"Revolution" I whisper in line at the DMV, to knowing nods from my surroundings.
"Revolution" I whisper when a woman's credit card is denied at my register, to a look of understanding as I give her an item for free.
"Revolution" I say as the class is uproarious about the politics of the day, to cheers and agreement.
"Revolution." We speak, aloud in a crowd of protesters.
"Revolution!" We yell, waving our colorful flags in front of the Capitol building.
@lilith oh yeah, definitely. Thats fucking evil
@audrey not as bad as arresting people for not paying
@audrey i don't want to post the city i ilive in otherwise i'd share my writeup but yeah honestly public transit is almost entirely paid for with tax dollars and ad revenue
@annebrennan holy shit, really? thats disgusting. this makes me even more mad that they're making that little from the fares yet still insist on them
@audrey yuuuuuup i did these numbers on my local bus service once and it turned out that fares cover less than 7% of operating costs in my city. The state, feds, and local governments could easily split the 7% 3 ways and abolish fares entirely but I guess it's a good thing that fares aren't even an important revenue stream for buses but poor people can be prevented from riding for not having it
