We have possibly the largest bus system with free fares. Almost all the buses within Chapel Hill and Carrboro are free to everyone and have been for more than a decade. A great success.

(The only exceptions are intercity routes to nearby towns and park and ride specials runs for major sporting events. Otherwise, free.)
