Luxembourg's newly elected coalition prime minister announced free fares from 2020 on all public trains, trams, and buses, having prioritized the environment in the election. The small duchy capital numbers only 110,000 people (600,000 countrywide), but 400,000 more commute there to work, creating some of the worst congestion anywhere.
