I have a pass, but my kids do not, and we used transit two times this weekend where we probably wouldn't have otherwise.
I'm thinking we should allow older kids (maybe up to 10?) to ride for free when accompanied by at least one adult.
Montreal has that now. Don't think it did when I was a kid.

1 adult + 5 children up to and including age 11 ride free Friday evening - Sunday, school break, summer, and the holidays.
Boston's MBTA had free companion rides on Sundays for those with passes I think.
