Because convincing US politicians to properly fund public transit is like pulling teeth, and until the funding model is changed, US public transit agencies literally cannot afford to eliminate fares. Providing free fares for kids is really smart because those kids will grow up knowing how awesome public transit can be and will help be a driver for change in the long term.

All the disadvantages of light rail and busses combined with the high cost and limited environmental benefits of hydrogen? What am I missing here?

I can maybe understand the use of hydrogen for long-haul train rides, but if you're building trams it makes zero sense. Why not just use regular light rail or trolleybusses if you can't justify the cost of laying down rail?

I'd expect a boat like this to be staffed 24/7, in which case attempting to sink it would risk human lives.
