free busses and mass transit issues...great innovation in Châteauroux



The challenge of free busses

Since 2001, the busses in the city of Châteauroux are free. This is pretty unusal, as the busses in Livorno and Münster aren`t free. This innovation is based on three main aspects, such as social, economic and ecologic aspects.

1. Social:
- everybody can use the bus to get to their destination no matter how high their income is
- a lot less stress is caused to the bus drivers, because they don`t need to control if everybody has paid his\her ticket

2. Economic:
- because more people are able to reach the town, that means more people can buy

3. Ecologic:
- a lot less pollution for the environment, because if everyone usses the bus they don`t have to use teir cars
- by doing that the emissions of CO2 is reduced
