    > In fact, it's the most expensive in Europe.
I just Googled and Gemini tells me:

    > According to most reports, public transport is most expensive in Switzerland across Europe, with cities like Zurich considered to have the highest individual ticket prices; the Netherlands also ranks very high in terms of expensive public transport costs.
Also, Norway is super expensive to ride the train.

So, yeah, I doubt that anyone can confidently say that UK public transport is the "most expensive in Europe".

The greater farce to me is "privatising" Thames Water. That will go down in history as one of the dumbest moves in UK economic history. It will soon be re-nationalised. So all the gains were privatised, but the losses were socialised. What a tragedy of weak governance.




Norway recently(ish) privatised its trains too.
