Title: Is this the cheapest commute in the world? Post by: grahame on September 12, 2018, 05:36:29 Video from the BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/45486344/is-this-the-cheapest-commute-in-the-world)
Quote Sanjay Waghela built a makeshift raft to help people cross a filthy canal in the Indian city of Mumbai - saving them time and money. The answer of course is "No". Public transport is free in Estonia ... and I expect someone will bring up ENCTS bus passes and their Scottish and Welsh equivalents. Title: Re: Is this the cheapest commute in the world? Post by: Lee on September 12, 2018, 08:11:02 Hourly town bus is free in Carhaix just down the road from me - http://admin.ville-carhaix.bzh/upload/espace/1/les_services/transport/Hep_le_bus/2017/Affiche_HepLeBus_2017.pdf
It connects up housing estates, town centre, supermarkets, large stores, hospital, doctors etc and the rail/bus interchange at Carhaix station. I wonder where else this might work... Title: Re: Is this the cheapest commute in the world? Post by: froome on September 12, 2018, 10:45:22 The answer is, of course, no. At least half of commuters walk or cycle, and thus pay nothing towards their commute apart from the wear and tear on their shoes and bikes.
