Sure but don’t let perfection be the enemy of progress.

Cast a wide net, 50% discount for students, municipalities can hook people up with free or discounted passes depending on their municipal tax returns, it can all be automated even.

Some who don’t need discounts will get them and some who need them won’t but they will get better quality of service however. And if they don’t manage to get themselves a discount by any means, if the alternative is buying a car they’re saving anyway.

The absolute amount of money collected isn’t really the point, just that there is some of it and it is a non-negligible portion of the total.
