Free Public Transport: Does It Really Work? - Doctor's Perspective S04E08
Does free public transport really work? More and more cities – from Montpellier to Dunkirk to Belgrade – are taking this bold step. However, the results vary.
In this episode, I examine the real consequences of introducing free public transport:
whether traffic congestion is reduced
whether passenger numbers are increased
how much it costs the city
whether such a solution makes sense
This isn't a film about magical solutions, but about how improving residents' mobility and urban policy work in practice. If you're interested in urban development, urban planning, and public transport, you've come to the right place! A new episode every Tuesday!
