Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel has found a way to cut back on greenhouse gasses as well as cutting back on the traffic jams in his nation starting in 2020.
At the current time the public transportation system in Luxembourg is free to children, students and senior citizens.
Despite the population of Luxembourg is around 560,000 citizens, due to the high wages in jobs in that nation which is higher than the nations of Belgium and France. Luxembourg has attracted people from both European nations coming to find work and a high salary.
If only in our nation we can have free transportation for some of us who cannot afford to pay for bus service to go to shopping centers or medical places

Our public transportation systems run at a loss as it is.

That is true since the bus service in Lake Charles has a long wait period for bus services at the bus stops.

For a small nation in Europe, the way they seem to care for the people living in that nations and their neighboring nations get free public transportation.

Lucky people. When I lived in Latvia only school children and senior citizens could ride for free. Due to a really bad economic situation, the rest of us would get city cards so we could ride a bit cheaper otherwise if you got into a bus you would wind up paying full fare and if you had to take two busses you could wind up walking home.

It is a shame that governments around the world cannot afford to have cheaper rates to take bus rides for the elderly, children and students.
