Luxembourg Becomes First Country To Offer Free Transport by Jadsy01(f): 10:44am On Mar 01, 2020
Luxembourg as on Saturday became the first country in the world to offer free public transport.

LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) – Luxembourg abolished fares for trains, trams, and buses on Saturday in what the government said was a bid to tackle road congestion and pollution, as well as supporting low earners.

All standard-class journeys on public transport in the tiny and wealthy European country are now free of charge, compared to an annual pass worth 440 euros ($485) before. Travelers can still pay for first-class, at a cost of 660 euros a year.
