How would your own life and how would your town or city change if it had an entirely free bus system like this one in Dunkirk ?
"The network connects Dunkirk to a cluster of neighbouring towns, with five express lines running every ten minutes throughout the day, and a dozen other lines serving less dense areas. Altogether, it serves some 200,000 residents."
I'm not sure how much it would cost but I suspect we could probably do this in many population dense parts of the country for less than the cost of HS2.
