The trains and subways are already very full. Just making things cheaper will not be enough. We need to massively invest in new lines and more frequent trains everywhere.
One of the train companies here are using a 3 coach commuter train for long intercity travel. It's extremely unpleasant, people are always standing in the aisle and sitting on their suitcases by the doors.
I honestly have no idea why they can't just... make the train longer?! The 30 min frequency is not an issue for me, although it isn't great. The constant overcrowding on the other hand is horrible.
That's because NS is trying to cheap out on things for some reason. You keep hearing about them removing trains from the schedule or shortening them.
