Liberals love describing basic public service concepts as if they’re fantastical utopian fever dreams.
Things like free public transportation, or public zero-interest banks, or public grocers.
It’s usually a “well that could never work” and refusal to elaborate on why. If it doesn’t presently exist in America, it must be impossible and ridiculous, especially if there’s no price barrier.
At least in Europe, the norm isn’t free public transport, but very cheap subsidized public transport. In Prague, for example, 1 month of unlimited bus & metro use is currently 50 USD.
I think Prague has an amazing public transport system, it’s really intelligently designed.

My monthly pass is $250 and only covers the commuter rail that is (sometimes) on time 🙃
