This is a good (and fair) idea. Those who have a lower income could maybe use a hand up, and many will need transit to get to work. Lower income seniors can get a break too, but I'm not sure I get why you automatically get a break for managing not to die.
This year, the fee structure will be:
Low income, non-senior:55% off
High income, senior 96.7% off
Does anyone rationally think that it makes sense for a high-income senior to get a bigger discount than a low income person? How about Harley Hotchkiss? He's 83. Does he need 97% off a transit pass?
