Personen bis 30 Jahre mit einem aktiven Führerschein haben die Möglichkeit, ihren Führerschein für 5 Jahre abzugeben und für jedes Jahr 5.000 Euro zu verdienen.
Ich kenne einige (vielleicht mehr als ein paar) meiner Landsleute, die ihren Führerschein abgeben müssen, vielleicht wäre das ein guter Anreiz.

A little amused that I got an ad for Maltesers on this thread
After five years, though, these (Cypriot) drivers will get their licenses back, and by then they won’t even remember how to put the car in reverse, judging by the way they drive today.
Not to mention that they’ll buy a car for mountain trips with the money they’ll get, whereas right now they can’t even keep their Mini Cooper in its lane of the road.
What a waste of public funds… the goal is to reduce traffic congestion by reducing the amount of drivers.
Obviously the people who aren’t using their license would give it up temporarily for 25k, meaning they’ll spend tens of millions without a reduction in traffic.
Instead they should have created proper public transport Lots of countries, even poorer ones like China, have electric, clean, airconditioned busses that arrive frequently. In a place as small as Malta (basically a single city of 500 thousand people) this shouldn’t be the end of the world. Also they should focus on urban planning like most EU capital cities where you can do everything in your own neighbourhood (shopping, sports, school, parks) instead of the american model where you live in the middle of nowhere and commute for each of those things.
Paying people to give up something they didn’t use, doesn’t solve the problem and only wastes taxpayer money.
As someone living in Malta it is a dumb fuck idea, as so far, the ones taking the offer had no intention of driving anyways. Also, 1000 people means nothing if you have like 200k cars, trucks and bikes on the road everyday.
Lastly, there are people who drive without a license.
This whole thing has achieved nothing. The government should be investing more into public transport and tax more based on how many registered vehicles to a person or household, to get people to carpool.
