The richest country in the world, where public transport is completely free

Travel costs can add up quickly when you're traveling with your family. However, in this incredibly beautiful and richest country in the world, visitors don't have to worry about much because public transport is completely free.

Luxembourg is consistently ranked as one of the richest countries in the world , with an average salary of 75,919 euros per year. Luxembourg is also the richest country in the world by GDP per capita, reaching $141,000 by 2025.

Despite the high salaries of its people, public transport in this country is completely free and even tourists do not need to pay for travel.

Travel costs are not borne by tourists in Luxembourg.

Meanwhile, Luxembourg has one of the highest rates of car ownership in the world. Specifically, according to Eurostat, Luxembourg will have 678 cars per 1,000 inhabitants in 2022. This high car ownership rate is often attributed to the country's wealth and the presence of a large number of cross-border workers using company cars registered in Luxembourg.

Aiming to cut carbon emissions and encourage Luxembourgers to ditch their cars for shorter journeys, the country's free public transport scheme was launched in 2020.

Buses, trains, and trams are all free, although passengers still have to pay for first class. On weekends, visitors can even use the country's night bus system for free. And if you like cycling, you can also take your bike on any of the country's trains for free.

However, visitors need to note one thing.

Many visitors to Luxembourg on a day trip from Germany, Belgium or France still have to pay a fee if they use public transport for the journey on the other side of the border.

However, if you're simply traveling around Luxembourg, the country's public transport system is a great option for saving money.
