That's an awful idea. Why would you maintain payment infrastructure to collect fares from so few people? It wouldn't even pay for itself, it's just bad for everyone involved and no one would benefit.
what is the point of having two classes of users
citizens should have right to use free public transport. Tourists and visitors should pay in order to keep transportation free for the citizens. There is a debate in Europe (where I live) about the pressure of tourism and the additional cost that tourism creates especially in housing and the cost of living. So this is one way to migirate the problem of cost of living.
i agree that this sounds nice, my one quibble would be with regards to citizenship. i fear in trying to discriminate against tourists, you'd actually be penalising vulnerable marginalised people who don't have citizenship in their own country. if the goal is to reduce car use, i think some tourists getting a free ride is worth it
