Free rides only for those in need
I am an 8th-grader at St. Francis de Sales School in Lake Zurich. I personally think that senior citizens should not be able to receive free transit rides, based on their age alone. The criteria should be based on their age and financial need. We shouldn't provide free rides to individuals who can clearly afford the fare just because they area certain age. The state of Illinois is in financial trouble so even if it is an unpopular thing to do, we need to change the free ride situation.
