 In #Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 peak fares are being removed across the board on #ScotRail to try and incentivise rail travel over car use.

If passenger numbers go up it’s entirely possible the temporary peak fares removal will become a permanent one.

You can only do that if your country owns your train operating company. 

No privatised company would consent to losing the profit they derive from gouging daily commuters.
