Much like nationalized healthcare, I think creating access to a service or benefit by means of tax is the way to go. If you live in an area with public transportation, you pay an additional $100-$300 per year, depending on yearly income (or property tax assessment depending on state), into the mass transit district (or whatever governing body) and you can ride free, unlimited. I guess this is socialism, but when it comes to health care and transportation I'm already there I suppose. Just think how much more this might encourage people to ride transit if you never had to worry about fare.
