New GRT fare cards could disadvantage the poor
Honestly, most of the problems in this don't seem difficult to solve. If the cards cost 60 cents, then subsidize a whole bunch of cards for free. Don't have a minimum deposit. Give reload devices to social services. Turn T.R.I.P. and other discounted fares into specific categories that can only be "turned" on at social agencies that people are already using.
