IT'S TIME TO END FREE FARES ON THE FREE CRIME BUS

What will it take for Mayor Regina Romero and the Tucson City Council to finally say enough is enough when it comes to the city’s bus system and failed experiment of free transit? It is not “ludicrous” to say that crime is tied to free transit — it’s a reality.

The proof happened again this week: A Tucson bank robbery suspect escaped on a bus.

For more than two years, the The Tucson Crime Free Coalition has been calling on city elected officials to reinstate bus fares. In that time, countless lives have been impacted by bad decisions made by the mayor and council.

The list of crimes connected to the bus system is long — and growing every day:

● Hatchet attacks
● Shootings
● Stabbings
● Rampant fentanyl and other deadly drugs on buses and at bus stops
● Bank robbery with getaway via the bus
● Countless business thefts with criminals escaping on buses
● Drivers attacked
● Innocent riders assaulted
● Children attacked
● Women raped

The millions of taxpayer dollars spent to keep buses “free” is staggering — as is the time wasted in meetings while Tucson residents pay the price in safety.

We are calling — again — for common sense:

• Reinstate fares for those who can afford them, with reduced or free fares for those who truly need it
• Add security officers on buses and at bus stops

This won’t solve every problem, but it will start reducing the use of our bus system as a tool for criminals. Buses should be for people going to work, school, or other legitimate destinations — not as free transport for those committing crimes across our city.

This week, instead of addressing the real issue, the city is placing rocks at certain bus stops to “deter drug use.”  Click for video

SAME ORACLE AND GLENN, NEXT DAY, 11 a.m. — BUS STOP

A couple days after the rock placement began, a suspect was caught on video throwing a rock through a business window — just another example of criminal behavior that has been plaguing businesses for years. And now the city is adding to it.  Click below to watch.

Tucson businesses and residents are at a breaking point!
