Eva Chanda<a href="https://twit.social/@glennf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@glennf</a> I can see why he's dabbling in modeling: he's got great hair and jawline! Thanx for sharing the article. PS why not make public transit free for everyone? No need for costly turnstiles, ticket machines, fare collectors, transit cops hunting for fare evaders, the whole bureaucracy required for fare collection. And it would reduce cars on the road way more than subsidizing electric cars. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/FreePublicTransport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreePublicTransport</a>
