"Brad West, the chair of the TransLink Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation, tells BC Today host Michelle Eliot that he likes the idea, but it's not currently realistic."

Yes it is. It's a decision that is made to not fund transit enough for it to be free. It's a decision that is made that for some reason transit has to "make a profit".
