City ticket should be 2.75 and transfer with the buses/subway. City could just subsidize it as a line item in the budget.

I'd be up for that. I'm not sure how a city ticket works though. I'm guessing that the usage might be too variable for the city to agree to it. I mean the city wouldn't agree to it outright anyways because they always want the state to pay as much as they can.

I saw an estimate for ~30 million a year. On Twitter, so grain of salt, but that doesn’t seem wholly unreasonable.
