I guess it depends a lot on what you think a government should spend money on or what its role is. IMO the 9€ ticket was a great idea because it was simple and unconditional. Social security laws and subsidies are usually riddeled with exceptions and rules on when you qualify which require more people (meaning more expenses for the government) to check them. In a society that is constantly chasing for even more convenience, reducing as much friction as possible for taking public transport seems like a good idea and far from a disaster?
