Re: Luxembourg Becomes First Country to Make All Public Transit Free

No. The system in the 1970s and 1980s went to hell even though fares were required. The system was fine back when the 5-cent fare was long in the tooth and nearly amounted to free. Free-to-enter public parks and libraries function quite well.

What matters more than anything is who's in charge. I've seen co-op apartment buildings with high owner-occupancy rates that were shitholes (i.e., with cockroaches, lazy supers, dirty common areas) because bad people got themselves elected to the board and made bad management decisions.
