The rising costs of public transport in Europe require political countermeasures such as subsidised climate tickets and a redistribution of revenue from climate-harmful mobility, in order to create affordable and sustainable alternatives.

Greenpeace is calling for affordable 'climate tickets' for public transport across Europe, in both local and long-distance services.

The text reports on a study by Greenpeace that documents massive price increases for public transport in 14 European capitals since 2023. Costs have risen particularly sharply in cities such as Nicosia, Amsterdam, and Madrid, while prices have fallen in Dublin, Oslo, and Budapest. Greenpeace is consequently calling for affordable 'climate tickets' across Europe and points to different funding models. The Swiss Mobility Bonus initiative is cited as an example, which proposes a levy on airline tickets and private jets to fund public transport and citizen participation. The text notes that transport is the only EU sector in which greenhouse gas emissions are rising, and points to the high dependence on oil. The VAT burden on public transport tickets varies greatly between countries, from zero in Denmark to 27 percent in Hungary. The text concludes with a reference to the EU Mobility Week and contact with Greenpeace experts.
