This is a real machine in Romania. Do 20 squats in front of it, and it prints you a free bus ticket.

What a great idea!

Something like this appeared near the Miramax offices in LA, where if you showed it your bare feet it gave you a milkshake. It remains a mystery who put it there.

It's a long-term thing, like good primary education. Get 'em into good habits while they're young. Probably work great if kids have bus passes for school most of the year and so get into the habit of using public transit, then suddenly need to either pay or exercise over the summer break
This of course assumes a robust transit system, making the idea of taking the bus or train somewhere even worthwhile in the first place. Some places have that, some not so much
Yep, most of the US does not have any public transit access. And I believe rural US probably contributes heavily to the most severe obesity numbers.

Why are we talking about squats?

Why is 2min somehow equivalent to 3?

We're comparing no power generated to any power generated, ignoring the equipment cost thats infinite gain.

You have to subtract the cost for the power generation station from that, then it's negative profit margin.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]You're already building an exercise station whether it generates or not, you have to compare the two. Bike station doesn't need cameras and sensors, probably much cheaper computer too. Heck, the power savings from dropping the detection equipment and algorithm are probably more than the power generated.

I don't know how it is where you are, but here disabled and elderly people already ride the bus for free.
Having to prove you're disabled is also often ableist

These types of efforts might save money on health care costs long term
if you actually want to save money on healthcare you make public transport free and good, and limit driving as much as possible.

One of the biggest strains on a government is the health of its citizens. Decreasing obesity and other risk factors through physical activity will save them quite a bit more than a bus fare.
which is why public transport should be free

"so to confirm you have crippling social anxiety we're gonna need you to sit in the waiting room for half an hour before you get to meet the doctor, who will have 13 students with them to observe the meeting"
