Too bad Germany, Switzerland, France etc don’t have the “financial stability” to make our public transit free. Or so the neo-liberal politicians say.

There are cities with free public transport in France. Germany has the 49€ monthly pass. Luxembourg has free public transportation.

The situation can still be improved a lot all around the EU, there's no denying it but it's not has bad as you say.

49 EUR/mo smells like bullshit. Trains easily cost hundreds for a one way ticket

It doesn't include any high-speed rail, only the regional and local trains.
