Re: Luxembourg Becomes First Country to Make All Public Transit Free

Well, has any system succeeded with all costs paid by the fare? To do that, wouldn't the fare have to be so high as to discourage use, and then not cover fixed costs?

I really don't see how transit can succeed all on its own. In fact, airlines and even long distance buses are subsidized by having the government pay the costs of building and maintaining the necessary infrastructure. And let's not forget the enormous expenses necessary to provide security for air travel...
