I actually don't support this. (income specific concession fares); aside from needless bureaucracy (I oppose all concession fares); it also makes transit appear as if its a service for the poor; and also negates the idea of treating low income people as adults who can determine their own priorities. (what people with low income need, is money).
By all means, I support more resources for transit, and take no issue with lowering fares overall (particularly via daily and monthly caps, ie can't be charged for more than 3 fares in one day, can't be charged for more than 36-40 fares per month) .
I also support raising the cost of parking on-street, of course, and have championed as much regularly.
But lets not do siloed, ghettoized handouts that condescend to the poor (if we give them cash, they might mis-spend it!) and instead focus on quality public services, be they free (from a public-facing point of view) or highly affordable.
