I’ve been to NYC 3 times now, and all 3 times people didn’t pay for the buses, they just got on. The bus driver didn’t even look behind themselves. Making the buses free is just a formality.
The buses I used were always PACKED and in all honesty if every single person paid, the bus would sit there for like 3-4 minutes at the busy stops.
The main shopping district for my neighborhood is 10 blocks away. I don’t mind walking there regularly, but there are times when I decide not to go because I don’t feel like it. If I could go to the end of my block and jump on a free bus, I would go there 2-3 times a week instead of once.
I would also explore other neighborhoods more often.
