Not if you replace that with funds from elsewhere. My first choice would be property taxes in NYC. Both the residents and businesses in the city would benefit from zero-fare buses. Less expense for commuting workers. Access to more workers for business. Raising a billion dollars that way is probably a small fraction of a percent added to property taxes.

I really, really want NYC to do make their bus fares zero.
Because here's what's going to happen: they'll become rolling homeless shelters.

That always does WONDERS for the ridership experience.
