LUXEMBURG, THE FIRST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TO MAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT FREE

 Whether this is government taking seriously the adequate care of its citizens or it’s technologically induced good tiding, Luxembourg is set to be the first country in the world to make its public transportation free.

This fit comes out of oblivion through the help of just re-elected prime minister and his coalition government which agreed to lift all fares on train, buses and trams come next summer.

The re-elected prime minister whose Democratic Party will form a coalition government with the left wing Socialist Workers’ party and the Greens, had promised to make public transportation tickets and fares free all across the country during the recent election campaign.

The authority says the initiative would alleviate the traffic problems the commuters always faced with and also solve one of the world’s worst traffic gridlock.

All its neighbouring countries like Germany, Belgium and France has about 400,000 commuters that travel in to work in Luxembourg. Again, all everyone in the  country who is  under 20 years and,  or an high school student  is  offered free ride on a  bus, train or  trams especially when commuting from home to school. Luxembourg currently has the highest number of cars for its population in the European Union.
