Kansas City, Missouri has made history in the United States becoming the first major city to offer free public transportation to residents.
The Optimist Daily reports that the city council and Mayor Quinton Lucas hope the unanimously approved measure will get people out of cars and improve transportation equity for all.
Kansas City’s streetcar service is already free to use, and the further addition of more free public transport will cost USD $8 to $9 million which the City Council says it can recoup in other areas.
