have risen in 14 European capitals since 2023, with some cities seeing prices climb by more than 50% \u2013 although public transport has become cheaper in four others.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--travel js-article-content\">\n<p>Public transport is an important consideration when planning a city break, but now it\u2019s been revealed that prices for getting around are at a new high in half of Europe\u2019s capital cities.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\"

loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>New research from Greenpeace shows that public transport ticket prices have increased significantly in 14 European capitals over the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>The body looked at the 27 EU nations, as well as the UK, Switzerland, and Norway and their respective capitals, and examined the availability and affordability of monthly and annual public transport tickets.<\/p>\n<p>It also looked at the scope of long-term public transport passes \u2013 that includes <\/p>\n<p>regional reach and what types of public transport are included in the cost \u2013 as well as inclusivity, or price reductions for vulnerable groups, and value-added tax (VAT) on public transport tickets.<\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace wants national and local governments to introduce so-called affordable &#8216;climate tickets&#8217; which would not only benefit public transport users, but also tackle emissions from road and air transport and the EU\u2019s dependence on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what the research showed. <\/p>\n<h3>Public transport prices are rising \u2013 but not everywhere<\/h3>\n<p>London, Amsterdam and Paris are some of the most popular cities among tourists on the continent, and are also notoriously pricey to live in. So, it\u2019s little surprise that they have the most expensive public transport costs on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p>London topped the list at \u20ac162 per month, followed by Amsterdam (\u20ac107 per month), and Paris (\u20ac77 per month). <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the sharpest increase for long-term ticket rates since 2023 was recorded in Cyprus\u2019 capital of Nicosia, up 67%, followed by Amsterdam (+55%), Madrid (+50%) and Bratislava (+32%).<\/p>\n<p>Berlin and Vienna saw prices shoot up by 29% and 26% respectively, while Copenhagen, Bucharest, Vilnius, Brussels and London saw prices increase by at least 10% over that period. <\/p>\n<p>One significant issue that keeps public transport tickets in the EU particularly high is the fact that they\u2019re taxed at an average of 11% VAT. Seven countries have also increased their VAT on public transport tickets since 2023.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all bad news though. <\/p>\n<p>Prices for long-term public transport passes have actually fallen in four European capitals since 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Dublin has done particularly well in this category, with a decrease of 42.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Notoriously expensive Oslo\u2019s prices are down 11.5%, while Bern\u2019s decreased by 6.6%, and Budapest\u2019s went down 5.8%. <\/p>\n<p>Prices in 12 other capitals have remained at the same level since 2023. <\/p>\n<p>While two more countries \u2013 Spain and Slovenia \u2013 introduced some form of a nationwide public transport ticket in the time since 2023, only eight out of 30 European countries currently offer free public transport or affordable universal long-term tickets.<\/p>\n<p>In this category, Luxembourg, Malta, and Slovenia score best, while Finland, Greece and Norway rank worst for affordability and availability of national transport tickets, and also apply above-average VAT rates to domestic public transport.<\/p>\n<p>At the more positive end of the scale, the cities which rank best in Europe based on the availability, affordability and inclusivity of long-term public transport tickets are Tallinn, Luxembourg City and Valletta in equal first place.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re followed by Prague in fourth, Rome in fifth and Athens in sixth spot. The top eight is rounded out by Sofia and Vienna, which take seventh and eighth place respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div

for getting around are at a new high in half of Europe\u2019s capital cities.New research from Greenpeace shows that public transport ticket prices have increased significantly in 14 European capitals over the past three years.The body looked at the 27 EU nations, as well as the UK, Switzerland, and Norway and their respective capitals, and examined the availability and affordability of monthly and annual public transport tickets.It also looked at the scope of long-term public transport passes \u2013 that includes\u00a0regional reach and what types of public transport are included in the cost \u2013 as well as inclusivity, or price reductions for vulnerable groups, and value-added tax (VAT) on public transport tickets.Greenpeace wants national and local governments to introduce so-called affordable &#8216;climate tickets&#8217; which would not only benefit public transport users, but also tackle emissions from road and air transport and the EU\u2019s dependence on fossil fuels.Here\u2019s what the research showed.\u00a0Public transport prices are rising \u2013 but not everywhereLondon, Amsterdam and Paris are some of the most popular cities among tourists on the continent, and are also notoriously pricey to live in. So, it\u2019s little surprise that they have the most expensive public transport costs on a monthly basis.London topped the list at \u20ac162 per month, followed by Amsterdam (\u20ac107 per month), and Paris (\u20ac77 per month).\u00a0Meanwhile, the sharpest increase for long-term ticket rates since 2023 was recorded in Cyprus\u2019 capital of Nicosia, up 67%, followed by Amsterdam (+55%), Madrid (+50%) and Bratislava (+32%).Berlin and Vienna saw prices shoot up by 29% and 26% respectively, while Copenhagen, Bucharest, Vilnius, Brussels and London saw prices increase by at least 10% over that period.\u00a0One significant issue that keeps public transport tickets in the EU particularly high is the fact that they\u2019re taxed at an average of 11% VAT. Seven countries have also increased their VAT on public transport tickets since 2023.It\u2019s not all bad news though.\u00a0Prices for long-term public transport passes have actually fallen in four European capitals since 2023.Dublin has done particularly well in this category, with a decrease of 42.5%.Notoriously expensive Oslo\u2019s prices are down 11.5%, while Bern\u2019s decreased by 6.6%, and Budapest\u2019s went down 5.8%.\u00a0Prices in 12 other capitals have remained at the same level since 2023.\u00a0While two more countries \u2013 Spain and Slovenia \u2013 introduced some form of a nationwide public transport ticket in the time since 2023, only eight out of 30 European countries currently offer free public transport or affordable universal long-term tickets.In this category, Luxembourg, Malta, and Slovenia score best, while Finland, Greece and Norway rank worst for affordability and availability of national transport tickets, and also apply above-average VAT rates to domestic public transport.At the more positive end of the scale, the cities which rank best in Europe based on the availability, affordability and inclusivity of long-term public transport tickets are Tallinn, Luxembourg City and Valletta in equal first place.They\u2019re followed by Prague in fourth, Rome in fifth and Athens in sixth spot. The top eight is rounded out by Sofia and Vienna, which take seventh and eighth place respectively.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2026\/09\/17\/which-european-cities-have-the-most-expensive-public-transport&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/91\/43\/40\/1200x675_cmsv2_afc2ce8c-1fd3-556d-8027-55c3b0c702d6-9914340.jpg&#8221;] United Arab Emirates Azerbaijan insists it will preserve Christian heritage as part of its history Europe News French ex-minister on trial over Renault-Nissan corruption case USA US House votes for a third time to end the Iran war before midterms Sport Mbapp\u00e9, Vin\u00edcius and Konat\u00e9 criticised for hiding Ceuta support message United [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2148560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2148560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2148560"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2148560\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2148560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2148560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2148560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
