       In Germany, the Public Transport companies & unions do not want free / cheap public transport for everyone as of now. WTF.https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/bahn-gewerkschaften-neun-euro-ticket-101.html

       @JayVii_de Well, I get it. Crowded trains are extra stressful for their employees (and free trains makes some of them afraid of job-loss (or being downgraded to "security jobs"), and they don’t trust politics to improve funding and conditions (which, looking at how things went in the past decades is entirely rational).

       Obviously there needs to be investment in PT infrastructure & money for their workers. That has to happen synchronously, they are right in their demands for that. But arguing that there can't be cheap PT for everyone is completely counter productive
