Glad to see this, given the previous announcement that downtown parking will be free on weekends.

This is good news, but how will it be implemented. Free to get on at those stations to travel anywhere? If someone is stopped at another station, they just have to claim they came from one of the free stations?

@steph There hasn’t been any official announcement but word is that you’ll be able to get a free ticket at any downtown station, which can be used as a bus transfer or proof of payment elsewhere in the metro.
