Luxembourg is first country to make all public transport free

Luxembourg is to become the first country to offer a free public transport system, as the government tries to reduce particularly dense car traffic.

Some cities have taken similar partial measures but the transport ministry said it was the only time such a decision had encompassed an entire country.

Public transport will be free from Saturday in a move that will affect approximately 40% of households and save each one about €100 per year.

Private cars are the most used form of transport in the country.

In comparison, in Paris, 69% of workers use public transport, according to Insee, the French statistics institute.

The transport minister, François Bausch, said: “Systematic and continuous investment is a sine qua non-essential condition for promoting the attractiveness of public transport.”.

The exception to the free-for-all public transport system will be first-class travel on trains and certain night bus services. »
