Justice coopérative et gratuité des transports en commun

Resumen

Cooperative Justice and Free Public Transit - Urban transportation is a central issue for theories of urban justice. The current car culture is unjust because it discriminates against those who cannot afford to be a part of it, and it is inefficient because it creates a collectively disadvantageous situation. In this paper, I will first argue that public policies should encourage a modal transfer from car to public transit. Drawing on a theory of cooperative
justice, I will then argue that free public transit is mutually advantageous and can be defended from both the perspectives of equality and efficiency.
