I have read that more progressive cities are starting to offer free public transit to anyone traveling into the city. No need to build a new expensive infrastructure, it is a green step in the right direction, lots of media coverage for the politicians, increase downtown visitors to boost economy. - Could be an idea.

Connecting key locations

Freecity, freetown and CityBus routes are designed to connect bus and rail stations with shopping centres, hospitals, colleges and universities, and key business and leisure locations. They have contributed to the reduction of city and town centre congestion by encouraging people to leave their cars at home and use connecting trains and buses instead.

They have also been shown to have increased numbers of shopping trips, and have enabled people with mobility problems or with buggies, small children or large packages to carry, to make journeys they would not otherwise have made.
