@marco p Klar kostet der ganze ÖV -Betrieb etwas. Ich meine nur, wenn die Billetteinnahmen nicht einmal reichen, um die Billettautomaten zu bezahlen, dann muss die Staatskasse noch mehr für die ÖV zahlen. Und wer füllt die Staatskasse? Die Steuerzahler. Versteht mich jemand?

You would have to calculate how much money is collected through tickets and what the ticket machines, ticket office staff, and controllers cost in return. I'm curious. If the zero-fare for everyone were cheaper, what would happen?

Sure, because only those mentioned costs are incurred permanently. Vehicles only need to be bought once and never repaired again, and there's no need for maintenance of infrastructure. etc etc etc,

Subsidies should be targeted to low-income or disadvantaged households. A blanket discount disproportionately favours privileged households, which makes it a regressive measure. In the end, there needs to be enough funding for those who depend on public transport even on non-profit able routes. Privileged households will always be able to move around even if public transport is de-funded.
Commuters are the problem that causes rush hour. A cheap offer for commuters would probably be much more important to get them from the street onto the rails.

but then for everyone. Let's see when the first low‑income earners complain that they have to finance it with tax money.
