Spain is ramping up to follow Germany’s Deutschland Ticket, which gives nationwide public transit access for a flat rate.
I love our Deutschland Tickets. The subscription system is wonky, but once you have it running it’s wonderful.
Nice work, Spain!
Sounds good when said, but I fear it will make transportation worse.
Centralized funding will make existing tensions between Madrid and Autonomous Communities even worse. There’s a clear division of competencies, and this move gives the central government a lot of say over local issues.
