Good podcast on the controversial topic of free public transit. Kansas went ahead, and no, crime didn't increase. And homeless people riding in the bus, rather than being a problem, were actually more accessible to teams helping them access shelter.
Braess's paradox: build bigger highways doesn't decrease congestion, because people who were taking alternate routes immediately crowd the expanded highway.
Braess's paradox is the observation that adding one or more roads to a road network can slow down overall traffic flow through it. The paradox was discovered by the German mathematician Dietrich Braess in 1968. The paradox may have analogies in electrical power grids and biological systems. Wikipedia
