Portugal becomes the latest EU state to announce a flat-rate monthly rail pass

Taking its cue from the likes of Germany, the Portuguese government plans to introduce a €20 monthly rail pass to promote greater use of public transportation services.

    This initiative aligns with broader EU goals of reducing carbon emissions and encouraging the use of public transport over private vehicles.

            @tabitha_kimani Beyond reducing air pollution, increased public transport usage contributes to better public health outcomes

                  Increasing the demand for public transport will surely help reduce the amount of pollution brought about by individual vehicles.

                    @jane_wangui Sure, public transport generates significantly lower emissions per passenger compared to private cars.

                      Great this reflects a growing trend in Europe of integrating greener transportation.

                        If only this was to work the amount of emissions will reduce by a huge percentage as more people will opt to use public transport.

                          The Rail Card has a big impact because it will reduce the emission of cars on the road, and less use of fossil fuel too.

                              @rotich_kim This is a great initiative because it will reduce emissions. More people will be using one means of transport instead of everyone driving their cars.

                              This is amazing! Encouraging more people to use public transport is commendable and should be encouraged to reduce the amount of carbon emitted by personal cars that people drive to and from work or school.
