In many cities, public transport is often the easiest and cheapest way to get around.
It’s more environmentally-friendly because fewer petrol and diesel cars are on the road.
It’s also free, if you visit Luxembourg.
Its the first country in the world to make public transport zero-cost for everyone.
Is it the solution for congestion and pollution, or will the cost of a ticket be paid in other ways?
