Free busses would be fantastic for any city’s economy. Infrastructure encourages development growth rather than inflationary growth. See, money flows through the economy like a river, and the more money flowing, the more life the economy has to support people. But growth comes in two forms, development and inflation. Development is like new people moving to new spaces and opening new businesses. Those new businesses create jobs and foster innovation. Inflation is like when resources run scarce, so the cost rises as demand increases. Parking lot owners can charge more per space and pocket more money, choking out customers who cannot afford to pay extravagant costs of living. This type of growth does not create new jobs or encourage innovation. It merely concentrates more wealth into the control of a small group of people.
