Just read something, from a random German, about the power/affordability of their monthly train pass and I am the bitter resentment.

@PatrickoftheG the 49€ ticket? It was briefly 9€. It's awesome, and the party that wanted to take it away are no longer in parliament, although probably for only slightly related reasons
@econads it seems like the post is a couple of years old so that checks out. Still, I was impressed by the idea of getting anywhere conveniently by train, as well as having ferry and bus access I think. Seems like it would be a good thing.
Now a standard metropass in Montreal can't even take you through the whole network which seems like a regression from what it was a few years ago.
@PatrickoftheG with the current political situation I fear for the continuation of the germany wide rail pass. There is a good chance this will end soon.
@fuchsiii Welcome to the misery the rest of us find ourselves in, friend.
