This isn't really true. Lots of investment in public transit in the Nordic countries. Austria is doing quite well. Switzerland of course to. Italy is doing better then many would have expected 20 years ago. In Paris they are building some of the most massive expansion in a long time, and even many smaller cities are building tram lines, and the TGV is putting up record numbers.
In the Baltic a massive rail expansion is happening. Former eastern countries like Czechia still have a good rail system and starting to upgrade it. Poland is upgrading in many places as well.
Spain has globally the best construction cost for new infrastructure and they are expanding things like Madrid metro.
The UK is doing badly as usual as of recently but despite the price rises, their network is incredibly full and well used.
But I wouldn't take the UK as typical.
> Lots of investment in public transit in the Nordic countries.
This is my favourite phrase. "lots of investment". Crime, drugs and violence gets worse, but it's okay because there is "lots of investment" in police — just meaning we keep spending more money and getting worse results.
Public transport gets more expensive and worse every year, but there is a "lots of investment" in public transport — meaning we keep sending more money and getting worse results.
Energy is getting more expensive, but it's okay because there is "lots of investment" in energy — meaning we keep spending more money and getting worse results.
But it's okay, you should be happy, at least there is "lots of investment", what are you going to do with your money anyway, after all you can't go anywhere because it's unsafe, the public transportation is probably not working, and you don't have money for it after paying your bills because of all the "investment" anyway, and even if you did the government can always find more things to "invest" the money in.
Having just traveled all over Northern Europe, your doomer nonsense about 'crimes, drugs and violence' is hilarious. For example the automated metro in Copenhagen is a case of investment with great results.
> can't go anywhere because it's unsafe
I'm sure this is true in the fantasy land that exist in your head.
Do your far right-wing rants somewhere else.
You can ignore the actual data showing that violent crime is rising, like the government and media does, but it does not mean it's not rising.
You can ignore the data on the public transport delays and cancellations, like the government and media does, but it does not mean it's not rising.
