Abstract

The objective of this article is to discuss zero fare public transport, which has academic and social relevance for addressing the issue of public policies in the city. The zero fare transport is a reality in 17 Brazilian municipalities as well as in several countries. In this context, this paper reports the social demonstrations which took place in 2013, as a protest against the Brazilian Public Transport System seen as unsustainable in the financial, social and moral sense. As a consequence, a new constitutional amendment (EC 90) was approved, including transportation as a social right on September 15, 2015.
