Implementation Problems and Improvement Strategies of Free Ride Policy for the Elderly
Abstract
Shanghai has abolished the policy of free travel for the elderly and changed it into a comprehensive allowance for the elderly. This paper analyzes the problems existing in the free ride policy for the elderly from the perspective of citizens, enterprises and the government, and then puts forward three feasible improvement strategies: one is free for limited time, the other is free for limited times, and the third is to change the unlimited implicit subsidy to the quota explicit subsidy, which has reference significance for improving the free ride system for the elderly.
