Luxembourg will become the first country in the world on Saturday, February 29, 2020, to offer a free public transport system as the government tries to reduce particularly dense car traffic.

Private cars are the most used means of transport in the Grand Duchy. According to a 2018 survey by TNS Ilres, cars accounted for 47 percent of business travel and 71 percent of leisure transport.

In Paris, by way of contrast, 68.6 percent of workers use public transport, according to Insee, the French statistics institute. The first section of the tram has been operational since the end of 2017 but work will continue for a few more years to link the southern outskirts of the capital to the north where the airport is located.

Meanwhile, libreng fakenews ang tanging maasahan sa pinas. Salamat tatay Digs!

Developing the railway is the best means to lessen the reliance on cars. But this can only be done without the bureaucracy and corruption of the government. Remember when they bought incompatible train cars?

Sana all! 🙏🙏🙏

Sana all 🙏🏽

Dapat ganito din sa Ph
