BOOM: Germany has just announced UNLIMITED public transport anywhere in the country will cost just $1.40 PER DAY.
Officials say the policy is aimed at cutting CO2 emissions and helping with the cost of living.
Anyone else think our government should do the same?

which is absolutely worthless with the bus going every 2h in each direction. if you are lucky and have a bus station near you.
they should have put that money in improving things first.
as it stands a car still is as cheap and more practical. with 500€/year in taxes&insurance - which would be at the expensive end - you arrive at ~1.40€. sure you'd still have to buy gas so let's say 2€, but you can go wherever you want whenever you want. i'm happy to pay that premium for that.
the common peoples individual mobility can be disregarded anyway, there are many things which would be better targets if you want to reduce CO2. air travel, cruise ships, consumption of bullshit goods.
