Too bad Germany, Switzerland, France etc don’t have the “financial stability” to make our public transit free. Or so the neo-liberal politicians say.
There are cities with free public transport in France. Germany has the 49€ monthly pass. Luxembourg has free public transportation.
The situation can still be improved a lot all around the EU, there's no denying it but it's not has bad as you say.
At least they even have decent transit. So many places in north america have never on time hourly bus service that takes 3 times as long, or buy a car. Thats it. Those are the only options unless you have the time and capability to walk 7 kms one way to your grocer, and another 10 to your employer.
49 EUR/mo smells like bullshit. Trains easily cost hundreds for a one way ticket
It doesn't include any high-speed rail, only the regional and local trains.
Yeah, that sucks.
It's actually pretty nice, it includes all the metros, subways, light rails, buses, etc
