SUMMARY In November 2019, BC Transit released the report ‘Fare-Free Transit: A Summary of Considerations for BC Transit’ which explores the discussion of fare-free public transit. Research into other transit systems throughout the world that have or are going to implement fare-free transit are examined. It was concluded that, while removing fares produces a short-term increase in transit ridership, the increase carries an obligation to continue investing in transit services, which are difficult to fulfill due to reduced funding streams. Investing in transit infrastructure and services to make it more attractive to discretionary (non-dependent) transit riders while also considering the affordability concerns of youth and low-income users, yields the greatest potential to produce a robust, high-ridership transit system over the long-term. BACKGROUND In 2017, the Regional District of Nanaimo and BC Transit conducted a fare review, implementing
