Episode notes

This chapter follows the story of a taxi driver in Luxembourg facing long waiting times for passengers and working extended hours due to high living costs, providing insights into the taxi industry in a city where fares are relatively expensive.

Some cities around the world have decided to make public transport free. Services can range from local bus routes to shopping malls to city-wide transit. We're in the rich nation of Luxembourg which became the first country to introduce free public transport nationally, as well as in Delhi where women can travel for free in an effort to boost the numbers of women in the workforce. We're also hearing from Kansas City where the funding model is running out for a scheme introduced four years ago. Produced and presented by Daniel Rosney
