The disadvantage of discount campaigns is that the normal price afterwards feels like extortion.

This effect is likely to be particularly strong after three months of junk prices in local public transport.

No wonder that the desire for a successor model comes from almost every corner.

A simple, inexpensive ticket is indeed a brilliant idea, but it must also be realized that the trees are not growing to the sky right now.

The 9-euro ticket was never anything other than a quick relief for citizens in times of great (political) hardship.

But it is by no means a viable financing model for public transport, which can only be kept going with several billions of taxpayers' money.

It would therefore be absurd to simply extend the discount campaign.

The simple, clear tariff should remain.

But attractive, efficient public transport costs a lot of money, which is why those who actually use it should pay for it.

Solutions must be found for those who are overwhelmed financially.

But only for her.
