There are stories coming out of people seeing their 15 minute bus ride to work turn into a 1 hour+ commute, or of people now having to take 4 busses instead of just 1.
Meanwhile rich people who can afford to buy a new electric car can do so with a 5000 euro support of the government. I hate this society.
I’m 100% that after the privatisation more stops will be removed. And that everyone will be suprised why it’s so busy doring rush hour and why some people can’t find a job.
Eventually it will become like The Netherlands where you’ll pay 45 euro for a return ticket from Eindhoven to Amsterdam. Flanders is the size of Beijing but it is in a constant state of traffic jam. Having functioning public transport will remove the need for most car traffic, saving money on road maintanace, saving CO2 pollution, etc. But that’s not the neoliberal grindset to have, so tough luck.
