Luxembourg Becomes The First Country To Make All Public Transportation Free by obafemee80(m): 1:01pm On Jun 25, 2019


Luxembourg is set to become the world's first country to make all of its public transportation free to its over 600,000 citizens.

Late last year, Luxembourg made headlines when the newly re-elected prime minister Xavier Bettel and the coalition government announced that they will lift all fares on trains, trams and buses in March 2020.

The ultimate goal of Luxembourg, a country whose traffic congestion is among the worst in the world, is to force people to ditch their cars in order to alleviate some of the worst traffic congestion in the world.



Last year, the tiny country, sandwiched between Germany, France and Belgium, started offering free transportation to everyone under the age of 20. Secondary school students have also been able to ride free shuttles between school and home.

Good Move...
Can This Move Be Replicated In Oil Rich Nigeria In Order To Reduce Traffic Congestions?

At the bolded, the country traffic congestion cannot be as worse Lagos traffic most def!

Unfortunately, OUR COUNTRY'S BEST 16 years of HUGE MONEY MAKING/PROFIT in BILLIONS OF DOLLARS was looted by thieves and criminals, that some fraudsters are still supporting till now.

We can only remain positive about our darling nation.
If things do not get better in our lifetime, this will be a sacrifice we are making for our unborn kids.

There was a country!

Someone said the country population is small just 596, 669. If they did not have plan they wouldn't have achieve it..

China, India are a billion plus in population and they are still far better than us.

Now can a country move forward when tribalism and religion is rooted in its system.
