Public transit in Canada is facing a crisis. Between chronic underfunding, dwindling ridership, and outdated infrastructure, it's becoming increasingly difficult for urban residents to rely on transit, while rural areas often have no options at all. Could making public transit free be a climate solution that also addresses social inequities?

Guests Rubens and Christian are organizers with Climate Justice Montreal, a group pursuing environmental and climate justice through education, mobilization and collective action in solidarity with directly affected communities. Rubens and Christian make the case for why public transit shouldn’t just be affordable - it should be free for all. Free transit reduces carbon emissions, eases traffic congestion, and improves noise and air pollution. It removes financial barriers, helping low-income riders, students, and seniors get where they need to go. This episode explores how a fare-free system isn’t just a dream – it’s a practical step towards more just, sustainable cities.
