I travel a lot with public transport in The Netherlands, and I’ve noticed that quite a large number of people are extremely unhappy with the latest action of our ‘national’ railways. They’ve raised the price of train tickets at normal counters (with 50 eurocents) as opposed to those you pull out of the ticket machines. Apparently, they hope to cut back on personnel costs this way, but also managed to anger groups that have trouble operating the machines. (or just prefer human contact)
People such as senior citizens, the handicapped..). Anyway, now that we are so close to the European elections, certain political parties have started crusades against this, closely followed by consumer rights groups. Personally, I feel this is being blown out of proportions. But I also wonder how other people feel about actions such as these?
