I’m curious about these, this one and the German one people talk about. Obviously the price is meant to be a good price, but at that price why not just make it free? Do so many people buy the pass that it actually makes a noticeable income? Or is it just to keep very poor people from having it?




I’m not sure I understand. Like right now I believe I’ve heard that Germany has a 60€ pass or something. How does that prevent demand from surging? Wouldn’t the people who can’t afford a car be the ones they would have more trouble with the 60€? Presumably the car people could pay for fare already.
Though it is true that they aren’t, and maybe the idea is that they would ride the free train, because any price is enough to keep them as “car people”?
