As you may know, from the weak economy, they proposed to make Fareless Square (An area where you're free to ride in Zone 1 on downtown Portland, Oregon) for rail transit only, due to the insufficient money people have, and forgets which routes the buses go to, (Expo Center, Hillsboro, clackamas, etc.) that way in 2010, people will be less worried about forgetting their money for the fares (Tickets to ride). There are benefits on this, one of them is to have less frustration in bus drivers, to see who payed and who didn't. There are drawbacks on this, though: They could just walk or go on bikes more, especially when new people are coming in Portland, even worse in 2010, when the fares go up, if the economy is getting worse, they'll lose more revenues, than to gain profits, based on monthly passes and frequent riders.
