Wish we spent more on rail so the public transport was actually worth using and i could ditch my car.

101 per capita is NOTHING.

I wish we’d have numbers regarding price per km or something like that. It’s not about investment per citizen, it’s about how effective do we manage the rails we have.

All this says is that there is indeed room for more money. Not that it would solve our problems.

Swiss is also naturally more expensive, they have a lot of tunnels and bridges and difficult railroad tracks.

I really wonder how this is calculated. The subsidies to SNCB/NMBS + those to Infrabel are already much higher than 101€/inhabitant (somewhere between 250 and 300€/inhabitant). Also what about metro & tram, do those count in those statistics too (in theory they do as they are running on railways, but maybe this is limited to trains)?

It’s probable that we are subsidizing salaries more and infrastructure less. Or that a lot of subsidies aren’t directed directly to infrastructure but just to public transport in general.

Our government spends more per capita than most other governments. If you complain that it doesn’t spend enough in one domain, you should also accept that it should spend less is domains where it spends much more than other countries. We can’t keep raising taxes in this country.

People in Germany and the Netherlands are getting scammed.
