Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong but I think it's cheaper to subsidise public transport than to build and maintain car infrastructure. The way I see it is that every euro spent on making transport cheaper is 2 euros saved.

Oh I fully agree with you, it's just that it doesn't seem like they invest much in public transport. It feels like you hear more about lines closing down and capacity on the line going down than new lines being created.
