This will probably make you want to visit Luxembourg on your next family vacation: The tiny EU country is seeking to make travel free on its trains, trams and buses as part of efforts to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. The re-elected coalition government of liberal Prime Minister Xavier Bettel said “free public transport will be introduced in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg’s territory” from early 2020.
Georges Merenz, who heads the FNCTTFEL-Landesverband, Luxembourg’s main transport union, expressed concerns that the government plan would lead to job losses if nobody was needed to sell tickets. “As long as it is not cleared up, we cannot accept that,” Merenz told AFP. He added he was also concerned people in rural areas would not benefit from free travel.
