Luxembourg to become first country to make all public transport free

Apparently they have some of the worse traffic in the world. Question- will taxes go up to fund the free plan?

Luxembourg is set to become the first country in the world to make all its public transport free.

Fares on trains, trams and buses will be lifted next summer under the plans of the re-elected coalition government led by Xavier Bettel, who was sworn in for a second term as prime minister on Wednesday.


Bettel, whose Democratic party will form a government with the leftwing Socialist Workers’ party and the Greens, had vowed to prioritise the environment during the recent election campaign.


On top of the transport pledge, the new government is also considering legalising cannabis, and introducing two new public holidays.


Luxembourg City, the capital of the small Grand Duchy, suffers from some of the worst traffic congestion in the world.
It is home to about 110,000 people, but a further 400,000 commute into the city to work. A study suggested that drivers in the capital spent an average of 33 hours in traffic jams in 2016.

Would be great if they did so in USA -- all public transportation except air travel free.

In my opinion All Humans should have access to necessities of life. Even people who do not have high earning potential.

High earning potential, are you kidding them? That is you, with all the rhythm. As in fact, you are actually very rich. But don't tell anyone, for they would have a fit. As the truth is known, that's quite alright, don't tell anyone, as they will want all of it.

Why should everything be free? Who pays for all the free stuff?

End times leave with the spotted shrimp off the wall near the guitar strings of life. The sage brush is careful not to weigh the damages of the concerned few.
