💥 New report published!

In the US, more than 60% of the 400 urban agencies suspended at one moment or the other during the -19 pandemic. Starting from only 11 cases of full fare-free public transport before 2020, this is quite the transformation.

📘 How and why did this happen? Well, our team wrote a whole report on that!
