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!

    I’m envious. In the Netherlands, you can only buy a train pass for 376 Euros. And that’s just the train: no buses, no trams, not even those faster “intercity” trains.

      In Norway I pay about €150 a month for a 25 minute commute. Between three cities though, but still. Hopeful that one of the supporting parties to the ruling party elected this year has been promised a national €40 monthly ticket from 2027, but still a long way away.

      Though you can cycle for free ^^
      And that’s most frequently the fastest and easiest transport between two points in a city, by a margin.
      (I’m still envious about the rail prices.)
