I've heard this argument before. I didn't know how to potentially respond to it until they actually changed the prices.

2.50 for 50km equates to the same cost as driving, you’re way overpaying for busses
Did you factor in the cost of ownership, maintaince, insurance, and parking or just the gas?
I have an older paid off car so 50km worth of costs is approx $0
Why don't you register your car or pay insurance? Do you have magic tires that never need to be replaced? Is gas approximately $0/gal where you live? Or does you car get such insane gas milage that driving any distance uses approximately 0 gallons of gas?
That doesn't even take into account the ridiculous cost to tax payers of maintaining roads for personal vehicles. Even worse you're completely ignoring the latent expenses like the terrible health costs associated with air pollution from exhaust and tires, the stress of traffic, and the sedentary life style that your little metal box demands of you.
I think your car costs a lot more for you to operate than you realize but you're so conditioned to paying a subscription fee to exist you happily fork over your money without a second thought.
Even when a tire blows? Or your transmission gets old?
The oil lasts forever, it just keeps getting thicker
Your privilege is showing.
That's like saying you ride your car 29 days for free because it was paid off for this month on the first day.
Eventually you'll change cars. It has a daily cost, you're just amortizing it.
I'm Canadian and my lower-bound estimate is 25¢/km(~€0.17/km), so 50km would be $12.50(€8.44). And I think it's a lot more expensive to drive in Europe.
Damn, they’re straight up robbing you guys
