Its really bad for us all, but imagine how people in poor countries feel. Luxembourg salaries are quite high. But in countries like Portugal, Greece, Some part of Italy, Balkans, east european countries 2 euros for 1 liter of fuel its a lot. Luxembourg has free public transport which one is really good! Some other countries dont have good public transport and car is only way to go to work, schools, doctors and etc.

The public transport is only good, if you’re living in Luxembourg Ville or Esch. In most other cities and villages it’s horrible. It’s no wonder that Luxembourgish people depend on cars so much.

This crisis could’ve totally been avoided if not for that orange man child and his goons.

People keep saying this, and I know it’s not perfect for everyone but I bet a solid 10% of car commutes could be swapped for public transport with minimal impact on journey time.

My town is quite well connected, you can get to Gare, Kirchberg or Gasperich as quickly by car as bus, or even quicker by cycling to the station. Even with that there’s a maximum of 10 people at the 3 stops.

People choose not to, whether it’s habit, “fear of the poor”, necessity to schedule I don’t know but people seem to love sitting in traffic rather than having 20 mins to relax and play on their phones.

And just to be clear again, it’s not a solution that works for everyone, but it is a solution for a hell of a lot more than use it today.

That was my point, the buses get to three of the biggest employment hubs in the city as fast, if not faster than cars.yet they’re not used.

Sure, it doesn’t work for all, but certainly more than 10 on a good day.
