Luxembourg -- Europe's richest country -- today (March 1, 2020) became the first country in the world to make public transport free, according to the Euro News website.
It applies to all trams, trains, and buses, and will be available to tourists as well as residents.
"The introduction of free public transport is an important social measure," said Luxembourg's minister for mobility, Francois Bausch.
Buses are only used for 32% of trips to work, ahead of trains at 19%. By comparison, in Paris, almost 70% of workers use public transport.
