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!
The trams and metro system in Helsinki is amazing! I spent a few days there and the quality of the system is top flight.
I did manage to fall into the Baltic Sea while visiting, but that was my own efforts. It did give me a broken phone so I couldn’t show my train ticket. Helsinki uses the “no gates, we’ll check you sometimes” model and it saved me then. No phone, covered in seawater, in October (gentle snow), and I was able to get on a tram to make it back to my hotel no issues. Thank you, Finland!
I’d go back any time. Hell, I’d live there given a chance again.
Your wet clothes probably might have saved you from a ticket even if they had checked…
